Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a great weekend!

One question please...

From my product page, I added a link for some more info that opens to another page but open to a new window, how do you add a 'close" link so the customer can close that instead of "x" it.
Some customers don't even noticed that they have already opened a lot of windows!

Hope you know what I mean by this!
Thanks a lot to all of you who can help me!

P.S.Hope kidjoe will see this!

depends on how you opened it

if with javascript just use
<a href="javascript:self.close()">Close Window"</a>

if it wasn't opened with a script you will get a warning about "A script is trying to close" etc etc

It worked!!!
Thank you so much!!!

The real solution is to not open new windows. People do not expect it and it can be quite confusing. People are used to using the BACK button - so let them use it.

It depends. New windows are usefull in some situations, like when linking to a product image or something. People (me) sometimes expect those to open in a popup, and when you accidently close the window cos you thought it was a popup, it's really irritating.

Also, for off-site links I usually open a new window to logically seperate the other site from my own.

I understand all of your reasons. However, the usability studies as well as accessibility concerns all say that you should not open new windows. If you absolutely must open a new window, make sure you TELL the user that a new window will open. What you need to keep in mind is not how YOU surf, but how the general public surfs and uses the web -- and people don't like new windows.

I'll second that
