Cancel Button

[axman505]

I have an edit form that opens on a new window. I have added a cancel button which i want to close the form. I have tried the following code variations for the button, but nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

<input type="button" value="cancel" onclick="javascript:close()"/>

<input type="button" value="cancel" onclick="javascript:this.close()"/>

Try

<input type="button" value="cancel" onclick="window.close()"/>

close() by itself (your first example) doesn't do anything. The 'this' in this.close() refers to the button.

When you write this: onclick="window.close()" (Kendel's suggestion), it might work. To be sure, make it this:

onclick="opener=self;window.close()"

'hope that helps.

or you might want to be doing :

<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="document.whateverForm.style.visibility=none;">

to hide the form instead of flat out closing the window.. not overly sure what you're trying to do
