Close window
This isn't actually a ColdFusion tutorial, but many ppl. have ask how they easy can put a link or button on a page to 'Close a window'. This can be done by using a JavaScript link.
Example:
<a href="javascript: window.close();">Close this window</a>
This will open a dialog box. The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close this window? Yes/No
The next script closes the window automatic.
<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a>
<br>
<form>
<input type=button value="Close This Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form>
Below is an example of a pop up window that will close automatically after a time period.
Define the time period in the variable "howLong". Example: 5000 milliseconds, 7000 milliseconds and so on.
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Auto close pop up window </TITLE>
<SCRIPT>
var howLong = 5000;
t = null;
function closeMe(){
t = setTimeout("self.close()",howLong);
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY TEXT="#000000" onload="closeMe();self.focus()">
<TABLE ALIGN="center" WIDTH="300">
<TR>
<TD ALIGN="center"><P ALIGN="center"><B>This window will close in 5 seconds!</B> </TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY>
</HTML>

This script does not close the window "automatic",
the user must still press the -close this window-
button, which is no easier than pressing yes on the
original dialog box !
