Author	Topic: close button
christine Junior Member	posted April 20, 1999 07:51 AM I have opened a new window with the following link: <A HREF="/old?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.devshed.com%2FTalk%2FForums%2FForum1%2FHTML%2Fpage2.htm&y=1999" TARGET="new">Page 2</A> How can I place a button on the new page which will close the new window? Thanks.
scollo Member	posted April 20, 1999 08:28 AM In page2.html: <INPUT type=button value="Close" onClick="self.close();" >
christine Junior Member	posted April 23, 1999 08:51 AM Thanks. My problem was that page2.html contained a frameset, and the document containing my close button was in one of the frames. I was using onClick="close();", which worked not at all, but after reading your answer it's finally occurred to me to use onClick="parent.close();", which works perfectly.

nico Junior Member	posted April 26, 1999 01:46 AM another solution in case you don't want to use a button to close it, but anything like a text link or an image: <a href="javascript:window.close()">close me</a> just in case you wanted to know
