Hi
I am having trouble getting this to close the window after a time delay, from within the window content.
Can't see what i am doing wrong. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Clive

    
            <head runat="server">

Hello Clive,

When you want to use a function with its name with the setTimeout javascript function, you should put it in quotes as shown below:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="Head1" runat="server">

<title>Untitled Page</title>

<script type="text/javascript">

function closeWindow()

{

var oWindow = GetRadWindow();

oWindow.close();

}

function GetRadWindow()

{

var oWindow = null;

if (window.radWindow)

oWindow = window.radWindow;

else if (window.frameElement.radWindow)

oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow;

return oWindow;

}

</script>

</head>

<body onload="setTimeout('closeWindow()', 3000);">

<form id="form1" runat="server">

<div>

Close this window after downloading your file if it does not close automatically</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>

Once I did this, everything started working as expected and the RadWindow was closed as expected.
