How to close the popup window when submitting the form?

I have a sample.jsp. In that page one button is there.
when button pressed, open popup window contains one "text box" and one " submit button". when "submit" button pressed, call the "servlet" in this popup window and then close the "popup" window.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
  2.  
  3. <!-- Begin

  10. if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape")!=-1) {

  12. document.captureEvents(Event.MOUSEMOVE)
  13.  
  14. function getcoords(e) {
  15.  
  16. X = parseInt(e.screenX) - 80; // change the # at the left to further adjust the left-margin depending on the size of the window

re: How to close the popup window when submitting the form?


Close the window on the action page.

PS. some of your code is notoriously old. You should probably upgrade some of that code to work with modern browsers.
