Re: Closing my Window after Download

Ave, Trust me John, I would not post here without trying out "many" javascript functions first. In fact, the reason I posted here is because I began to think that a PHP script like that won't allow the window to close, because from window.close() to self.close() to various "Timeout & Close" scripts, I've tried many javascript functions. I don't get any errors ... The window just doesn't close...
