well, heres something to try, im not sure if it works. when i make popup windows i have a button where onClick="window.close();". So window.close() is what you want to do if the requirements are not met. what id do is something like this (lets say the name of the <input type=text> field is called Name).
<@ifempty expr="<@arg Name>"> <body onLoad="window.close();"> <@else> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=http://www.somewhere.com/something.taf";> </@if> A cleaner way i think would be to check before they submit the form, but then you have to assume all your clients have java script enabled browsers which may be too big of an assumption. Heres some code to do that anyways though: <SCRIPT language=javascript> <!-- function ValidateForm() { if(MyForm.Name.value=="") window.close(); else { MyForm.action="http://www.somewhere.com/something.taf";; MyForm.submit(); } } --> </SCRIPT> <form method=post name=MyForm action=""> Name<input type=text name=Name value=""> <input type=button value="OK" onClick="ValidateForm();"> </form> Hope this helps, Atrix ----- Original Message ----- From: "rich Jasinski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Multiple recipients of list witango-talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 1:24 PM Subject: Witango-Talk: Closing a browser window without user clicking > Is there a way to close a browser window without the user clicking a button? > I have a taf that looks at a table and if there is a value in a field it > does a redirect to a page.
