Close Window

[Paul Smith]

I have found how to have a new page open in it's own window when a button is
clicked. But I do not know how to put a button on this to close this new
window when the users has absorbed the information.

If I have a hyperlink back to the referring page I end up with two pages
open.

How do I include a button which closes the new page window?

<input type="button" value="Close Page" onclick="window.opener = self; window.close()">

I am not sure how to implement your solution....

How do I do what you suggest without trying to write my own code - I do not
do this.

Sorry I should have posted more.

You paste ( in html view ) what I posted, in the place in the page you want the Close Page button to
appear.

What I posted is all you need.

Is there anyway I can use one of the Interactive Buttons rather than the
boring 'standard' one?

Yes
Insert an Interactive Button and for the hyperlink use

<a href="javascript:void();" onclick="window.opener=self; window.close();">

You will need to edit/enter the hyperlink code above in Code view
- initially set the link to javascript:void();
- then add the onclick event to it in Code view

Yes, add the button to the page, set the URL to javascript:; A Hyperlink is
required to make it work in older browsers.
Then, in Code view add Steve's code to the link tag. The existing
onMousedown and onMouseup code can be removed since the window will close
before anyone can see the pressed image.

<a href="javascript:;" onClick="window.opener = self; window.close();return
false;" ><img border="0" id="img1" src="button9.gif" height="20" width="80"
alt="Close Window"
onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'buttonA.gif')"
onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button9.gif')"
fp-style="fp-btn: Soft Rectangle 6; fp-transparent: 1; fp-proportional: 0"
fp-title="Close Window"></a>
