Quick example: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML-3.2//EN"> <html> <head> <title></title> </head> <body> <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); echo "Sleeping for 5 seconds...<br>\n"; flush(); sleep(5); ?> <script> window.close(); </script> </body> </html> Since Javascript is text just like HTML, you just output it to the browser, and it'll behave normally once it gets there. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------+ |Torben Wilson <torben@php.net> Netmill iTech| |http://www.coastnet.com/~torben http://www.netmill.fi| |Ph: 1 250 383-9735 torben@netmill.fi| +----------------------------------------------------------------+
