: : In the parent window I am trying to close the pop-up window by
: : doing this:
: : <SCRIPT LANGAUGE=JAVASCRIPT>
: : //Close pop-up window
: : winHlp.close ();
: : </SCRIPT>
: : I get the following error: "winHlp not defined".
: : winHlp is the name of the pop-up window so I don't understand
: : why I am getting this error message.
: : Could someone tell me what else could be generating this message?
: : Thanks!!
: Vanessa, Yes, iam trying to do the same thing and I tried
: windowname.close () but i get that "windowname undefined"
: message. I was using the child window as a form to login with
: a username/password and then target the parent window.
: I just used a setTimeout (window.close (),5999) to close the window
: about 6 seconds after it was submitted.
: However, you probably arent doing the same thing.
: I will try to figure out a way to do it.
: good luck.
I have found that using the following code will close the window.
self.close ()
If the window is not
onBlur=self.focus ()
it should close when you click on the parent screen.
