Don't worry - I just sorted it out. It's because I'm using a button type of IMAGE
instead of SUBMIT. When I changed the type
property to SUBMIT, it worked fine and the window closed itself.
However...now I have to use a kludgy-looking grey button instead of my super-funky
graphic. Can ND fix this please and
allow use of type=image with JavaScript's onClick="window.close()"?
Cheers,
Pete
