Auto-close parent window on download

[DeepBlerg]

Hi,

I've been to a site before when I downloaded a file by clicking a button (or text) and when the download window popped up, the parent window disappeared automatically, what's the code for that?

Thanks,
Tim

not sure why you would want to do this, but:

<a href=&quot;someFile.exe&quot; onClick=&quot;setTimeout('self.close()',1000)&quot;>download someFile.exe, and close window</a>

at least that should work.

I put the delay in so that the user's machine would have time to start the download. theEclipse
