Bill,
Here's a suggestion....
When the user clicks on the submit button, process the order, and then
return a page containing only javascript
("window.close()"). Actually, you may want to also return text on the page
telling the user that the order has
been submitted, and that the window can be closed - just in case Javascript
is disabled on the user's browser.
