how to close a window.open after a script has completed.

[justAnoob]

i have tried everythign and looked everywhere. i have a submit button used for an upload. during the upload, a window is popped up for the user letting them know that the upload is going. When the script finishes(PHP), how do i close that window? This has to be js right?

when the upload is complete doesn't another page loads ?

The user is taken to another page after the upload. But my popup window is still opened on top of the confirmation page.

Here is the window.open function

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
function Uploading(pageURL, title,w,h) {
var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
var top = (screen.height/2)-(h/2);
var targetWin = window.open (pageURL, title, 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=no, resizable=no, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
}
</script>

and this is what i use

onClick="Uploading('progress.php','Uploading',400,400);"

Ok, I changed a few things around and now I can't get anything to work. What I am looking to do is this.

 

window open function

window close function

 

<?php

window open

upload script here

window close

?>
