    Ive tried using the code below to make a close window button in a jsp but when I press it it doesnt do anything and the window remains open.

    <form method="post">
    <input type="button" value="Close Window" onclick="window.close()">
    </form>

    It works ok with ie but wont work with firefox.

    In firefox window.close() will only work for windows opened with window.open() IIRC.

    JSP (and Java) is NOT JavaScript

    Im using javascript within a jsp and know the difference between them cheers.
    Here's something else I tried and didn't work

    <head>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">


    var browserName=navigator.appName;
    if (browserName=="Netscape")
    {
    function closeWindow()
    {
    window.open('','_parent','');

    window.close();
    }


    }
    else
    {
    if(browserName = "Microsoft Internet Explorer")
    {
    function closeWindow()
    {
    window.close();
    }
    }
    }
    </script>

    I doubt you'll get anything working in Firefox.
