how to close a window opened with document.forms[0].action?

varai

Hello,

does anyone know on how to close a window opened with document.forms[0].action?

the following is my code
billing_addr.php

function mySubmitFunction(which, billing_addr_changed_flag)
{which.action="shipping_method2.php";
  which.submit();
   ....................
}

which refers to form here.

shipping_method2.php calls payment_method.php (a popup-window) and payment_method.php calls credit_card_disp.php. When credit_card_disp.php displays, shipping_method2.php is still open. How can I close shipping_method2.php at this point?

thank you.

ok, i'm going to rephrase my question,

A browser window opens another popup window. Once the user clicks the continue button on the popup window, this browser window should close.

By the way the browser window was opened with form action.

I tried

window.opener.close();

in the popup window, but that doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know on how to close this browser window?

thank you.

This method is only allowed to be called for windows that were opened by a script using the window.open method. If the window was not opened by a script, the following error appears in the JavaScript Console: Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.
