Closing a pop-up window without Java

Small problem that I would like to work out.

I have a set of images I would like to open in a new pop-up window and then click through them one after each other or go back to a previous image. I have this working by using the small section of code (se below), the bold bit opens the window:

<a href="LINK" onClick="popup = window.open('LINK', 'PopupPage', 'height=500,width=500,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes'); return false" target="_blank" title="LINK">Link to page or image</a>

In each page of the resulting pop-up is the small section of code to close the window (see bleow), the bold bit should close the window - I think

<A href="LINK BACK" >Previous</A> | <A href="#" onClick="popup = window.close()">Close Window</A> | <A href="LINK NEXT" >Next</A>

The problem I have is how to close the window (without using Java or a button).

The window closes in Firefox, Safari, Netscape, Camino, Opera but not in IE.

Any ideas? Is the code correct and I am missing something? This one has got me stumped.

Thanks

 

Instead of popup windows try using this;
w w w . huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/ (remove spaces)

Its much easier to implement and looks gorgeous!

 

Will it work on an IE browser that has java switched off!

It looks fantastic BTW, but I have java switched off on my windows test machine so it won't work for me the way it will on my Mac.

 

For the answer to that you'll have to check the site i'm afraid. I haven't used it in months so can't really remember. Good luck though. =)
