you can't close a browser with CF. CF runs on the server. By the time the
page gets to the browser, CF has done it's thing and enjoying a drink and a
smoke.
You can use JS to close it automatically...
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
window.close();
</script>
just put that snippet after your CF 'form action' code.
A few caveats...unless the window was originally spawned with JS, the user
will be prompted with a "This page is trying to close itself...OK to allow?"
confirmation message.
You might want to consider running your CF code...then displaying a message
to the user that the insert/update/delete action was successful, and provide
them with a button to close the window themselves:
<input type="button" value="close window" onclick="self.close();" />
Your call, of course...but I think the button is the better option of the
two.
