[thelist] Closing a window with JavaScript

Thu Aug 22 04:19:01 CDT 2002

With help from HWG-Techniques list it is now working with the code below
(watch word-wrap).

Filename for code is 'test.asp'

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>
<script language="javascript">
<!--
function UploadStatus(showpage) {
 UploadStatus =
window.open(showpage,'UploadWindow','scrollbars=no,status=no');
 if (showpage=='') UploadStatus.close();
}
//-->
</script>
<%=request.form("open")%>
<form action="test.asp" method="post">
<input type="submit" value="open" name="open"
onclick="UploadStatus('page1.htm');">
<input type="button" value="close" onclick="UploadStatus('');">
</form>
</body>
</html>
