Submit button to also close popup form

N

Neil

Is there a way to close a popup form using the same submit button, rather
than the form loosing control to the submit destination?

Or can a submit button send my form to a URL of my choice?

suggestions appreciated.

You can make a little javascript function who close the popup in 2 seconds
afther the submit.

like:

<form action="blaat.php" onSubmit="close_window()">
........
</form>

Thanks for the reply

I'm not real clear on how to apply this and syntax.
Would the "blaat.php" be my submit to destination on the server?

This is the OnSubmit line from my form(close_window() added):

<form onsubmit="return validate()" "close_window()" name="smsform"
id="smsform"
action="http://sms.relay.com/send/sms" method="GET">

It didn't close the window when tested. Do I need a separator between
onsubmit items, or two onSubmits?
Is close_window() a function I must create?

Do I need a <script type="text/javascript"> before your example, and
</script> after?

Thanks

Click to expand...

I use to put the javascript code in the targeted page, not in the form.
If this is an option...

<script language="javascript"><!--//
window.close();
//--></script>

I don't have access to the page displayed after submit..
I really thought there was a way to close my own popup browser window, after
submit.
