What is the HTML code to make a "Close This Window" button?

Question

If I want my links to open up little windows but then I want them to know that they can close it... that they haven't gone to a new page... they just close the little window when they are done with it...
also - does it work the same on a Mac? will mac browsers keep multiple windows open at the same time?

Answer 1

Close

If you don't set the opener as self, the user will get a security alert from their browser saying something like "The web page is trying to close this window. Are you sure you want to allow it?"

The other option would be to put the close function in your parent window:

function closeWindow(winToClose)
{
winToClose.close();
}

and reference from the child window like so:

Close
