Try this

<img src = image_close.jpg onClick="javascript:window.close()">

window.close()

only works if you opened then window in the first place, you can not close a window opened by the user.

If you are echoing it , make sure that echo has echo ' text '; and not echo " text ";

If the close doesnt works , try javascript:exit()

This might help anyone trying to add a "window.close" button to an echoed page (the usual javascript doesn't work with a php echo)... note the single quotes for the echo...

echo '<div id="myDiv">
<p>Bit of content etc. etc.</p>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function closeWindow() {window.open("","_parent","");
window.close();}</script>
<input type="button" onclick="closeWindow();" value="Close Window" title="Close window">
</div>';

hope it helps... not tried it in all browsers yet!
