[thelist] close window js

Using the javascript/void technique has a tendency to convert the mouse icon
to an hourglass without ever changing it back.  Not all combinations of
browser/os have this problem, but I do see it on my NT/ie combination from
time to time.  Using it in conjunction with a close will most likely be
okay, but if the javascript is doing something not as profound, you may run
into cursor issues.

: Recently on another list, someone asked for a close window javascript.
Here
: are two answers that came back. Could someone tell me if both are correct?
: Do they both accomplish the same thing?
:
: <.a href="javascript:void" onclick='window.close()'>Close Window</a>
:
: <.A HREF="javascript:void(" ")" ONCLICK="self.close();return false;">
Close
: Window</A>
