You can't close the main window using Javascript. You can only close windows that has been opened from another window. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

What you have posted won't work because you have commented it out. The following will work to close a window. If the window is the parent window (the only window open) you get a message box asking "Do you want to close this window?". <a href="javascript:window.close();">Close Me</a> This works with Internet Explorer but probably won't work with other browsers. You can also use a button or image. Using the elements 'OnClick' event handler you can call a script function to close the window also. This is usually done for popup windows. Mark
