href + onClick problem.

[billycat]

Trying to have a link go to an external window named "somename" then close itself..

echo "<a style=\"text-decoration:none; color: navy; \" href=\"search_results55.php" onClick=\"javascript:self.close();\"  target=\"somename\">"; }

Two things:

First, remove the "javascript:" in the onclick. If that doesn't work, go the the next step.

Second,
I would just create a javascript function that did it.

PHP ?

echo "<a style=\"text-decoration:none; color: navy; \" href=\"javascript:OpenClose('search_results55.php');\">";

Javascript

function OpenClose(url)
{
   window.open(url, "someone", "width=400, height=400");
   window.close();
}

It will prompt the user if they want to close the browser though. Security mechanism. (Unless it was opened by another browser window, in which case why are you opening so many windows ;-) )
