How To Create A JavaScript Close Link
Whenever I create a small JavaScript popup window, I offer a "close" link. Since I'm responsible for the new window, I feel it's my job to help them easily get rid of it.
The XHTML
Create an anchor with the JavaScript "close" call in the "href" attribute:
Close Window
Do not use the onClick attribute of the anchor because not everyone clicks links.
Note: I've gotten out of the habit of using JavaScript popups. They're annoying and as smooth as steel wool. I recommend using a modal box via JavaScript. Most modal box scripts allow for smooth transitions and are just as easy to close as popup windows -- plus, they don't get blocked by popup blockers. I currently use MoodalBox for my projects.
