How can a child window close itself without help from parent?

Hi,

I've managed to get the parent window close the child window (popup). I do
this by the child calling the parent to close it.

How can the child close itself without help from parent?

So what I want to do is. the page should load, wait 2 seconds and then close
by itself.

I don't want to use buttons.

any ideas anyone?

hope to hear from you soon
cheers

Then whats the point of opening it?

self.close();

in a javascript opened window will close it.

Then, you just set a timeout to close it after 2 seconds. Search the
archives and MSDN

details on popup window. he clicks "submit", it saves, says thankyou, wait 2
seconds, then closes.

For some reason, when I click the X to close my MDI parent form, the action appears to be re-directed to one of the MDI child forms, and the parent remains open. I am then unable to close the application. What should happen, is that the main MDI form should close, taking the child forms with it. There is code to loop through the child forms,...
