I have a form with a radio button that when selected will open another form (in another window). The user will enter data on this form also, which will be entered into a DB.

What I need to happen is when the submit button is hit, the data is submitted and the window closes going back to the original form that can be completed and submitted, but what actually happens is that the data is submitted and a new version of the window that originally opened it [which is blank] and does not close.

I've tried using window.close and self.close but did not get the desired results. Is there any javascript code that I can use to achieve the desired results?

Here's the html code for the form

HTML Code:
<body>
<div align="center"><STRONG>QUOTE REQUEST<BR>
<font size="+1"><EM>ELECTRONICS INFORMATION</EM></font></STRONG></div>

Run this from the pop-up window:
