hi everyone, i just want to know is there any method to close a window after clicking on the submit button ? i have used

Code:

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" onclick="window.close()">

i want something like this.. whenever the user clicks on submit button, it should submit the form values(textboxes) and then close the form. is that possible ?

i hv something like this.

Code:

<html>
<body>
<form method="post" action="insert.php">
<input type="text" name="name">
<input type="text" name="age">
<input type="submit" value="submit" name="submit" onclick="window.close()">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Put this in the head tag:

Code:

<script>
function closeOnSubmit(){
 window.close()
}
document.onunload=closeOnSubmit

The onunload event fires when a form is submitted, either via the <input type="submit"> control or by calling form.submit() directly.
Note that if you try to close a window which wasn't opened by JS, the browser will show a confirm box.
