Hi..

I need the window on top to autoclose when the user clicks whatever is under it or basically anywhere off the page. Any takers? Thanks

doesn't look like there will be a simple solution...mainly because of you clike on anywhere else,there is no way you can find that out in the browser window..

Is it possible to determine when a window is nolonger the focus (no longer on top)? If so, could the window be closed when this happens (which would be when anywhere but the window is clicked)?

Sorry it's just a theory and not an answer.

You could try

<body onblur="window.close()">

Thanks for the help. What exactly is the 'onBlur' command doing?

Here's the result

The onBlur command (using windows terms) means that the requested action occurs when the window is no longer the "Top" (current) window. This can occur in a few different ways, clicking on another window, ALT-TABing to another window, a popup loading, a programme that hasn't finnished loading finishes loading and appear on top, you get an instant message and the mesenger appears on top, etc...
