onBlur="window.close()"????

[cschneider]

I'm having a problem with window closing when it's not supposed to.
I have a product "tour" that has a "registration" link on every page, that links back to the parent window. When I use the
onBlur="window.close()"
and click to go to next page it closes the window.
How can I get the window to close, only when I click on the "register now" link?
You can check out the tour here:

I've taken out the "onBlur..."
FYI- to start the tour - click on the upper right banner.

Thanks for your time & help

Chris

cschneider,
I haven't visited your site, but why don't you put the window.close in your link like this:
<a href="your_page_url" onClick="wondow.close()">...</a>

valeria_vi-
Thanks... but that didn't work. Maybe if you went to the link or here's the code I'm using

<img src="images/bar_on_10.gif" width="182" height="95" usemap="#Map2" border="0"><map name="Map2"><area shape="rect" coords="7,29,95,82" href="http://www.ehomecare.com/intro/register.asp"target="original"onClick="wondow.close()"></map>
<br>

After looking at the code, you would guess human error. That's why I'm the designer... not the programmer.

Thanks again
Chris

I guess you've spotted it already, but it's window.close(), not wondow.close()

Sorry for the typo (and thanks, hmahonen)
hope, the problem will be solved now

[cschneider]

Thanks - I caught the typo, but it still didn't work for me?????
Does my code seem correct otherwise?

Sorry my bad! "Brain Fart"
It works... I didn't clear my cache.

Thanks again.

Chris,

Thanks again.

happens to me quite often (more often than I wished lol )

You need to specify the window:

onBlur="window.close(this.window);"

Hope that helps!

Eh no, you don't need to specify the window.
