window.open JavaScript problem

[newbie]

I have several links on my page which open popup windows with product details. I open the popup window with window.open JavaScript method.

I have button on the popup which executes window.close JavaScript method when it's clicked. My problem is that when the button is clicked I get ugly confirmation message from the browser that my program is trying to close the window.

Any way to avoid this message and directly close the popup?

So if you open your popup like this on the parent page:

Thanks!

The JavaScript popup behaves, as it should now

This is a cool tid bit. I think that I am going to start coping all the cool scrips off here and put them in a word document. Then when I can't remember something I can look in it and find it! This forum is really cool, full of really helpful people.
