>>But this failed. Did I do a mistake implementing your solution?
Yes. :) the HTML code should be the code in an HTML document. Name that
document close.html or something. Then your getURL should be:
getURL("close.html");
What I mean by no target params is not to do something like this:
getURL("close.html", "_blank")
Which is a common technique to spawn a new window. In this case, you don't
want to do that.
