I am writing a PHP/MySQL web-page based system on Firefox and wish to
run a separate page from an <Alink to run a separate PHP script,
then close that page. Firefox starts a new tab for this and it closes
OK but I am then left with an egg-timer at the mouse arrow when over
top or bottom toolbars areas of the parent page.
I am using <BODY onLoad='Javascr ipt:close()'to fire the tab closure.
I have tried opener.focus() with no effect.
I can't tell what is running. It doesn't happen with IE.
Any explanation/solution?

IIRC the purpose of the javascript: URLs (and URLs only) is to call a
JS function
^^^^^^^^ or direct code. it seems to work more or less like eval()
in that regard...
It is described how it is supposed to work, and that appears to match the
implementations ' behavior. I have posted the description in another thread
*today*, so there really is no need to post your wild assumptions.
A link to a description to how it's "supposed to work" would be
nice. It's unsurprisingly hard to search for this behaviour because of
the keywords involved.

Prototype.js was written by people who don't know javascript for people

Neither of the two pages you mention in that post is in the first 100
results on a google search of '"javascript url"' (with quotes) or
'javascript url' (without quotes) for me. And not to be annoying, but
it looks to me like those pages are describing browser behaviour as it
was whenever they were written instead of any kind of standard (not
that there's anything wrong with that).
Anyway, thanks.
Joost.

Thanks, guys (& gals but I didn't notice any)
That got rather esoteric.
Just to be annoying I have rewritten the code using IFRAME instead!
The point with the PHP is that I have to fire code to set up a new
MySQL table but then return to the submitting page as it was.
Reloading PHP pages leads to very complicated if {}s and becomes
unintelligible.
Cheers

Hi,
I have a problem with our intranet, we are planning to install Firefox
instead of Internet Explorer onto some new PCs.
However, we can't get the following JavaScript to work in Firefox and
similar code is used in lots of the intranet stuff.
The code should bring up a message box with a warning and not allow
the user to continue unless they have filled in the entry in an html
form (the form is called 'myauthor').

This is obviously because FF does not support ActiveX.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
