try this

 

some times if the development mode is on window.close will not work... just off that mode and try once ,

Hi,

instead of  "javascript.window.close() ", you need to write down  onclick="window.close()"

An additional word of caution - some browsers don't like windows being closed from a page that didn't open them.  In this case you open the popup from your parent page, but close it via javascript on the child page, which may not work reliably.

 

I've ended up adding a javascript function on the parent page to close the child page (that it opened).  Something to bear in mind if your page is refusing to close once you've fixed any javascript issues.

I am facing a problem in Show Modal Dialog in Internet Explorer. I have button and i used below javascript to open the VF page in Popup window. It perfectly work fine on Mozilla Firefox but in Internet Explorer the VF page opens as a Popup and in that VF Page i have a button which query to the Product and fetch all the product in the VF page. but when i click on this button the New window is open (In Mozilla It works fine).

***********************


window.showModalDialog(url,'Contractual Pricing Viewer','dialogHeight: 500px; dialogWidth: 700px; dialogTop: 150px; dialogLeft: 150px; edge: Raised; center: No; help: No; scroll: No; status: Yes;');

 

***************

 

Any Idea why the New window is open in Internet explorer instead of giving me a result in the popup VF Page.
