Close current window (button)

[Buck]

Sometime you have a popup windows that will explain something or give a definition and you want to add a button for the user to close the current window.

This will produce a text link that, when clicked, will close the current browser window:

Code: Select all

<a href="javascript:self.close()">Close the window</a>


produces:

Close the window (in text format)

If the current window is the original window opened by the user, the user will see a prompt asking whether it's ok to close the window.

Here's another one that works w/ a button instead of text:

Code: Select all

<INPUT Type="button" Value="Close Window" onClick="window.close();">
