How to close a form

[Steven Malcolm]

Hello

I am totally new to HTML.

What I need is a way to close a form, i have already tried to use code like

<form>
<input type="button" value="Close Window" onClick="self.close()">
</form>

But this brings another little form saying that the form is trying to close
the window.

What I need is a button, but oes not ask if you want to close the for, just
closes.


TIA

So you actually want to close the window, not a form. See that X in the
top right-hand corner of the window? That's what that is for.

The alert you are seeing is a browser function, quite rightly informing
the user that something on the page is trying to close the window. You
cannot change it.

Yes you can If the browser window was "created" (popped-up) by a script,
then the the window.close(); event will not trigger the message if the child
window or the parent window triggers the event... But if it's a regular
window, you cant avoid the message.
