windows.close OK if FireFox - NOT GOOD if IE ??? 1

[josel]

Working on page where user is placed on new page without scroll, resize, bars ...

While in this page, user can do data entry and submit form or click <input type="button" ... /> which has "... onclick="window.close();" ... This works just fine in FireFox but not in IE 6.0

Is there something I must account for to make work cross browser?

Thanks,

You could try the old trick of:

onclick="window.opener = self; self.close();"

Hope this helps,

That did it!

I found that I never had the onclick="..." method, I was relying on <a href="javascript: window.close();" ...> to do the trick.

Funny how it worked on one browser and not the other. Once I put the onclick method in my <a ...> tab, problem was solved.

Thank you so much!
