[SPAM] - Re: [Javascript] window.close not working - Email foundin subject

[Matt Barton]

You could try this:

Change your test.js library so that all of the pertinant parts (the db 
write) are in a function.  fWriteToDB() for instance.  Then in your 
second window do something like this:

<!-- ************************ -->
<script language="javascript" src="test.js"></script>
<script languge="javascript">
	
	function fWriteAndClose () {
		// call the dbwrite function in test.js
		fWriteToDB ();

		// close the window
		self.close ();
	}

	window.setTimeout (fWriteAndClose() , 2000);
</script>
<!-- ************************ -->

Note: this is all untested, and I don't really agree with using 
javascript like this, but if this is how you really want to go then you 
could try it.
