function popup() {
Pop=window.open("testpage.html","popone","width=250,height=400");   
}
// End hide. -->
</script>

</head>
<body>

<a href="#" onclick="popup()">popup window</a>
<a href="#" onclick="Pop.close()">popup window</a>

</body>
</html>

Click the link in the right frame. When you're finished close the new popup window.

Notes

In this example window.open() is in a separate function called popup(). The function definition is enclosed by <script> tags and is within the <head> tags. Note the use of quotation marks.

Pop is the name of the new window. It is used to access properties and containers, and call methods. It's used in the example to called the close() method. The name popone cannot be used here (see previous topic).

The third argument to window.open() is the optional feature list. The height and width in pixels of the new window are specified. Mentioning any feature turns off all the others.

Try This

Use popone to close the new window and see the JavaScript error message.
