In IE you could add an onClick event handler to the BODY tag. I doubt this is Netscape friendly.

Hi Tony,
Put this in your main page to open the popup.html:
<script language="javascript">
function OpenThisWindow()
{
window.open('popup.html', 'windowname', 'width=300, height=300')
}
</script>
<a href="javascript:OpenThisWindow()">open a popup</a>
------------------------------------------------
this is an example for the popup.html file:
<html>
<head>
<title>Just testing.....</title>
</head>
<body onclick="self.close()">
text in the popup
</body>
</html>
you can also use the onmousedown event instead of onclick
Hope this helps,
Erik

Yes, IE is what we use company wide. Can I also include a link to this Self.close() ??
for example:
<A href="info.asp"><FONT size="2">Click
here for more info</FONT></A>
How can I use the Self.Close() code with my above code?

This link should work on all browsers (just incase you were courious)![[yoda]](/data/assets/smilies/yoda.gif "[yoda] [yoda]")

This makes sense to me. Except
<script language="javascript">
function OpenThisWindow()
{
window.open(' popup.html', 'windowname', 'width=300, height=300')
}
</script>
This window contains text with a link to follow and I need to close it after the link has been clicked.

So you want to both follow the link and close the window? Where is the link supposed to load (which window)?
There are many ways to handle this, so let me know your specific details and I can help you craft the correct solution.

Try:
<A href="javascript: window.opener.location.href='nextlink.htm'; self.close()">Click here to close</A>
<A href="javascript: window.opener.location.href='nextlink.htm'; self.close()">Click here to close</A>

[tt]Thanks to all for your responses. I was able to use Boomerang's
<body onclick="self.close()">
which allows me to not only click on the link but also close the pop-up.
Thanks again.
