Guys,

In my ASP page, I popup a child window that contains a form. This form posts to itself in the pop-up window. After the form is submitted, processed and the page loads, I want to close the popup window.

The code for the asp page that the pop-up window calls is as follows:

<html>
<head>
</head>

<%

If request.form("action")="addemail" Then%>
<!--#include file="dsn.asp"-->
<%
sql="Update members set email='" & request.form("email") & "' where fullname='" & session("Name") & "'"
response.write(sql)
'set RS=conn.execute(sql)
'RS.Close
'Set RS=Nothing
response.write "Thanks"
%>
<body Onload="javascript:self.close;">
<%
Else
%>


<body>

<input type="hidden" name="action" value="addemail">
<input type="Submit" value="Thanks">
</form>
<%End If%>
</body>
</html>

Remove this line from your code

<body Onload="java script:self.close;">

and add self.close to the onsubmit event of the form element

The problem with putting the close on the on submit is the page does not process the form. It simply closes the window after I click submit. Since i am processing it in the same window, dont I need to close it after the form loads?

I added the self.close() on the onLoad and it worked fine now. It closed the window after I processed the form. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction
