Using the window.close method
It may be needed that you need to give a close link in the popup you created.
The window.close () method could be used to close a window.
However, there are certain security restrictions for using the close () method.
The close method closes only windows opened by JavaScript using the open method.
If you attempt to close any other window, a confirm message is displayed, asking the user
to choose whether the window is to be closed or not.
If you have the reference to a window, you can use the reference to the window to close.
For example:
popup_window = window.open("");
.....
popup_window.close ();
You can close the current window using self.close ();
For example:
<A href="javascript: self.close ()">Close this Window</A>
Note:
You can create full featured, great looking popups without
any programming.
