add self.close() to the last line of the code in the pop-up that opens the
new page in the parent. The child needs to close itself.

| Hi Listers,
|
| Well I have tried this and I still cant get it to work. On the page that I
am
| trying to close the popup window I keep getting a javascript error of
'Orders is
| not defined' the code tha I am using is listed below
|
| On the page that calls up the popup window:
|
| <script language="Javascript">
| <!--
| function open_credit(OrderNumber,Total_charge,FruitCookie,Email){
|
|
winStats='toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,st
atus=yes,resizable=no,copyhistory=no,width=450,height=450';
|
|  url="www.domain.com/file.php3?variable='+ Variable + 'variable2='
+Variable2;
|  Orders=window.open(url,"Orders",winStats);
|   Orders.focus();
| }
|
| then on a click it just calls that function.
javascript:open_credit(variable
| listed in here)
|
|
| Now on the popup window, it changes the parent(main browser window) to
another
| page and on that particular page I want to close the popup window. This is
where
| I get the javascript error
|
| I am using the following to try and close the popup
|
| <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onload=javascript:Orders.close>
|
| Any help as to how to get rid of the javascript error, and actually get
the
| popup to close would be appreciated.
|
| Thanks
| Shannon
