[Javascript] Close the pop-up

[Muchacho, Laurent (TWIi London)]

Hi Jim 

Trey was right with 
<a href="#" onClick="window.close();">Close Window</a>
this will work to 
<a href="javascript:self.close();">Close Window</a>
but what you looking is the opener to come back in focus 
<a href="javascript:opener.focus();self.close();">Close Window</a>

Laurent

ps: the best will be a function 

<a href="javascript:void close_window()">Close Window</a>

function close_window(){
opener.focus();
self.close();
}
