also at the end of the page:

 

<script type="text/javascript">

window.close();

</script>

Maybe this is a dumb question, but why did you open the window in the first place (if only to 'read rows')?  And since reading rows all occurs on the server, what's that got to do with closing a window on the client??

ok .. the full story ...

 

I have an add user link,  .. this is open in a popup ..

I complete the text fields, and i pus submit ..

this form jump to an insert_user.php ...

and i want to automaticaly close the popup window.

 

thats all.

just echo the script tags around your js code like this

<?php
echo "<script>window.close();</script>";
?>

It's the add user script that should close the window.  How about something as simple as using onUnLoad in the add user BODY statement?

 

BODY onUnLoad="javascript:window.close();"

But what happens if the user has javascript disabled ?

Nothing - exactly what the user deserves

 

Once again, a design decision that ignores the reality that users do the weirdest things.

You can always redirect them to a humurous site such as disney.com or something like that as "punishment" for not having javascript enabled.

And how, may I ask, would you do that without Javascript?
