[Javascript] Closing Popup from new page

[Anthony Webster]

hi dave

you are doing things right, but I think you can only close the window by calling your javascript in the window that opened it. 

you can create a function in the window that opens the popup, and call that function (in the 1st window) in your onload

Subject: [Javascript] Closing Popup from new page


Hello,

I have a popup that is spawned from a "submit" button on a page.  When the
new page loads, I want the popup to close.  I tried naming the popup and
then using onLoad="windowname.close()" in the body tag of the new page, but
it does not work.  Anybody know what I should do?

Kind Regards,
Dave
