[thelist] Javascript: tricky closing of window

[Candace Maynard]

onLoad="window.parent.close();" should work.

Your user will probably still get a prompt asking
them if they really want to close a window, however.

I've had success using 'window.parent.location="somehref.html";',
so this should work for you.  Good luck; hope this helps.

I have a framed window, named mainWin, which produces a pop-up, named
newWin. What I want to do is OnLoad of newWin is to close mainWin. In
the body tag I have tried OnLoad="mainWin.close()" and variations, and
even OnLoad="opener.window.close()" and variations, all to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers
Karl
