It doesn't close the window, but you said you tested it with an alert in the JS and it is actually trying to do something?<BR>
Or am I having a senior moment?<BR>

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=EC_073452521-07082008><FONT face=Verdana color=#0000ff size=2>I'm testing on localhost. The updated file still doesn't close the window. It does (and did this with getURL) cause Firefox to open a new tab, but it's blank. The Xerte window stays open. Oh, and Firebug (a Firefox plugin for web developers) reports "closeWindow is not defined" as a javascript error. I'm sure that's because it isn't finding the JS code in the web page.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
