Hello. I've imported my captivate file into my LMS, but it seems to open a parent window. I've inserted the window.close = function() as suggested, but can't get it to work. Am I putting the code in the worng place? Where exactly do I put the code?
Here is a copy of my existing code.....

Thank you both for your advice,
I will try out both solutions and report back on success.

I believe you need to add "top" to your JavaScript function in the HTML page, such as "top.window". However, if you close any other HTML pages, the user will get a nag screen asking them something like, "Are you sure you want to close this window?"

Hi Amanda BHCC,

Are you calling the file as a function call within Captivate?

In other words, in Captivate for a button or for the end of a project you have the oppertunith to select "execute javascript". Project Preferences -> Project End Options -> Action: Execute Javascript

In the Window you get when you click the elipsis button (...) you should only call the function. The call would look something like this: javascript:MM_closeBrWindow();

You don't actually put in the entire javascript in that window. Instead you put the full function in the head of the HTML document (or in a .js file that you connect to using a "include" reference at the head of the HTML page). You actually just call the function from Captivate.

I do this kind of think all the time. As long as you just call the function and don't place the entire function in that window it should work. (Oh make sure you upload the include .js file if you use that method.)

Does this help?
