I have been having problems closing a window. Please look at the following two examples. Any suggestions would be great. On the one that work incorrectly the only way for me to close the window is in Task Manager. The difference in the two examples is that one uses frames and the other does not. Help !

works incorrectly

Try this maybe…

```php
<A TARGET="_top" HREF="javascript:close()">Close Window</A>

```

Remove the space between java and script. The board automatically puts that there.
