@jamOct 11.2005 — even if you can get a good script^^^^ most browsers like ie6+ ask you weather you would like to close the window which is annoying.....Why not use the window.location thing

@comptech520authorOct 11.2005 — Actually, I have this working now after playing with it for a bit. My New question is:

going to http://djshawnmichaels.com/popup2.php

Click on join, the top window is suppose to close, but doesen't.

Could you please help me trouble shoot?

<a href="#" onMouseDown="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.djshawnmichaels.com/ml/newsletters.php','WindowName','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=300,left=300,top=300')" onMouseUp="window.close()">Join</a>

@bathurst_guyOct 11.2005 — Its working for me in Firefox 1.0.6, though newsletter.php isn't loading. But I'm just guessing it doesnt exist yet.

All I can think of atm is that onMouseUp, if say you click on it and not release but drag off this will not be called. You can place both of these things in the same action, preferably an onClick.

eg.

onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.djshawnmichaels.com/ml/newsletters.php','WindowName','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=600,height=300,left=300,top=300'); window.close();"
