how do i close titlebar-less browser windows? as in like
src << browse("boring html here","window=[src.name],display=1,border=0,size=500x300,tit lebar=0,can_close=0,can_minimize=0,can_resize=0")
how do i get it so when they click a link (or button) it will close the window? i've sat here for about 30 mins trying to figure it out and i can't to it. the javascript:self.close() only closes the browser control byond uses, and not the actual window. any input would be very cool.

Thanks
Daniel

You need to browse null with the same window name, like this:

<code>player << browse(null, "window=windowname")</code>

tried that earlier, didnt work. just gave me blank white window. and even then, how do i make it browse that after i click something? i tried doing like defining player << browse(null, "window=windowname") as a var, and setting the var inside the url but i dont think thats the right way...

mob/verb/breep()
    usr << browse({"This is a very boring window. It sucks. Therefor...<br><br><center>Click <a href=?close>here</a> to close me, quick (or press ALT+F4 while having this window selected)!"},"window=MyBrowser;titlebar=0")

client/Topic(href) 
    if(href == "close")
        src << browse(null,"window=MyBrowser")
    else ..()

The working code.

Oh, and please note you can't use it on everything.

usr << browse({"Thi ....."},">>>window=MyBrowser<<<;titlebar=0")

window=MyBrowser

src << browse(null,"window=MyBrowser")

Whatever is behind "window=" will be used to "overwrite" a window.
So if you'd do this:
mob/verb/hi()
    usr << browse("Hi!","window=window")
mob/verb/bye()
    usr << browse("Bye!","window=window")


...then whenever you click "hi" or "bye", the previous "hi" or "bye" window will be closed.
