```auto
on (release) {\r\rgetURL ("javascript:closeWindow()" ) ;\r\r}
```
In the HTML code :
```auto
(script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" )\r\rfunction closeWindow(){\r\rwindow.close()\r\r}\r\r(/script)
```
Change () into \<\> in the HTML tag ‘script’.\r\rpom 0]

You’ll get an alert though if you try to close the main browser from a pop-up.

That’s not what I’m doing, Eyez. Or maybe you were not talkin’ to me.\r\rpom 0]
