Can someone tell me how to close a pop-up window using image map?

Here's my code and it's not working.

<map name="map">
<area shape="rect" coords="258,6,345,23" href="javascript:window.close();">
</map>

Do I need to set up a reference code for window.close in the head tag?

I've answered something similar before...

When you open the window use: win=window.open()

To close that window use win.close()

I tried using your code with the image map as I've asked but it wouldn't work. So I re-wrote it in a simpler way instead BUT...

<head>
<script language="javascript">

</script>
</head>

<body>
<a href="javascript:win();">
<img src="close.jpg">
</a>
</body>

...it requires me to click on the image twice before the window would close.

Please help....

And does anybody else know how to make it work in an image map?

First, is this code IN the pop-up window, or OUT of the pop-up window.

If it is IN:
use: this.window.close()

If it is out, the code I put before should work, just make the function different from the varible, like: closeWin() and win=window.close()
