You can close it with JavaScript.
Something like <script language="JavaScript"> function open_a_window_please(){ lovechild = window.open("childpage.htm"); </script> Now we have a name that can tell the browser which window to close. We're ready to use the "window.close()" method. In the parent page add the following closing link: <body> <a href="javascript: open_a_window_please()">Click here to open a window.</a> <a href="javascript:lovechild.close()">Click here to close the child window.</a> </body> Dont forget you will need to use "flush" betwen your major parts otherwise it might not get sent to the browser right away. Mike P.S. Alot of PC's dont allow window.open anymore. People install ad blockers so it doesn't work. *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** > > I gave up on reinventing the wheel and i am trying to use that >middle-page method you guys mentioned.
