Help: Problem closing window

Joe
Hi,

I have a form with Submit and cancel button. When Cancel button is clicked I
want to close the browser window. Here is my sample form. To make things
simple I have removed the submit button. When I click on the cancel button,
the window doesn’t close. Can someone tell me what mistake I am making here?
Thanks for your help,

Joe

You had a typo in your Response.Write line.
It should be this:
Response.Write( "<script>self.c lose();</script>")

Hi Steve,

If I use what you suggested -
Response.Write( "<script>self.c lose();</script>") then I get an Compilation
error saying: String constants must end with a double quote.
with line highlighted
Response.Write( "<script>self.c lose();</script>")

This error goes away when I use
Response.Write( "<script>self.c lose();<\/script>")

Notice the escape sequence "\". Not I don't get the error but the window
doesn't close.

I'm not sure whats up but I use the same technique written a little diff. and
it always works.
Response.write "<script language=javasc ript>window.clo se()</script>"

Never had any trouble. I don't use the parenths on the write function. mabye
try that.

Good luck.

falcon, I don't know how you are able to do witout paranthese because asp.net
should give you error.

Anyway when I tried this,

Response.Write( "<script language=javasc ript>window.clo se()<" & "/script>")

I didn't get any errors and the window was closed too. WoW.

Thanks everybody for your time and help.
