Help with "Open Browser Window" please

[Ray]

I would like to open a small browser to be opened and closed without
changing the main window the viewer is in. The problem I am having is that
the main window follows the new small window to that same location, so that
when the viewer closes the small window they are no longer where they
started from in the main browser window.

I know it is something simple and stupid I'm overlooking, but for the life
of me, I can't see it.

Help!

TIA,
Ray

Thanks Patty and David, both worked equally well. See,

I hate to be a pest, but is there a way to make the "CLOSE WINDOW" at the
bottom of the child page to close the window?

Thanks,
R.

Hi Ray, just select the 'close window" text, and in the Property
inspector, add:

javascript:self.close() to the Link field.

Thanks David - looks like I'm going to have to learn a little rudimentary
javascript.

Is there a list and description somewhere of these commonly uses super
simple pieces of javascript like these you have taught me?

That link will be completely useless to the user without JavaScript. It just
takes a couple of seconds extra to make it work correctly either way. See

You're welcome. Hope you find it helpful.

It doesn't take much to make it accessible and that's a good thing.

I'd like to add a thank you also. I have printed out the method, and plan
to use it from now on.
