PHP-JAVASCRIPT PROBLEM...

I have a question concerning PHP n javascript.
Here is the requirement. When a user click on a short cut of a page on desktop, 2 fields in that shortcut icon(which is a index.php web page) will be automatically filled with data from DB. and the index.php automatically calls another php page index_1.php by using action = " ", method = post; When I try to close the index_1.php (in Firefox) by using CLOSE button (created by me) I can NOT do that. Is there anyway in PHP to close the index_1.php which will automatically close index.php page as well. OR which is the better way 2 achieve this? Javascript does not seem working.

TIA

I don't think you can submit the form and capture the window unless you're using Ajax. If you remove the $_POST and instead use $_GET you can use the javascript window.opener to close dependent (child) windows: http://www.webreference.com/js/tutorial1/reference.html
