Closing a window 2

[jimmythegeek]

I know this question had to have been asked before, but I can't find the answer in a search.

If I have a submit button that writes my record to a database, and then I want to close the window, how do I do that while still in VB Script running on the server?

Obviously window.close and self.close will not work as there is no "window" object running on the server.

This is driving me mad, and there has got to be an easy answer.

Thanks in advance. Jim Lunde

We all agree your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough?

Just need to response.write() it out to the browser in javascript to get your effect:

if someCondition then
<%
<script language=javascript>window.close();</script>
%>
response.end
end if

put it right up in the head of your document, after your processing has finished, so that as soon as it's rendered to your client, their window just closes.
