My guess is since your code didn't invoke this window, the close doesn't work. There was something in the Likno doc about using "parent."? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/autoclose-pagemodal-window-after-reviewsubmit#post-15977 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 02:19:37 +0000 zforray 15977@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the code (I was unaware of how much I can put into a message area). I understand your hesitation. However, I don't feel the need for the "success message" at all. As I mentioned, this is just to send an email. I basically want it to immediately close the window when they click submit, so I will lower the "close_delay" to almost nothing. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/autoclose-pagemodal-window-after-reviewsubmit#post-15970 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 08:39:20 +0000 yuniar 15970@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>You can add the javascript code into your success message.<br /> Below your success message, add this code:</p> <pre><code>&lt;script&gt; var close_delay = 2000; t = null; function closeMe(){ t = setTimeout(&quot;self.close()&quot;,close_delay); }; closeMe(); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>That should close the window after 2 seconds.</p> <p>However, you need to change all those code into a single line. So, remove any new lines.</p> <p>I don't think this is a good idea though. Some of your users might get confused and thought there was some error with the submission. I believe having the user to click to close the window is much more usable. It's your choice though. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/autoclose-pagemodal-window-after-reviewsubmit#post-15950 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:58:42 +0000 zforray 15950@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I searched for this topic but since both replies were from &gt;2-years ago, I wanted to re-ask this question for V3.</p> <p>I am creating individual forms for emails to multiple persons (thus hiding the true email addresses) and am using a pop-up/modal window.</p> <p>I would like to close the modal window after they review and click submit. How can I do this?</p> <p>I am using Likno to generate the modal window and they say to close a window programatically, to use the code such as:</p> <p><code>&lt;a class=&quot;likno-modal-project-close&quot; href=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot;&gt;Close this window&lt;/a&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;img src=&quot;any_image_here.jpg&quot; class=&quot;likno-modal-project-close&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; height=&quot;233&quot;/&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;a onclick=&quot;likno_modal_project.close();&quot; href=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot;&gt;Close this window&lt;/a&gt;</code><br /> <code>&lt;img src=&quot;any_image_here.jpg&quot; onclick=&quot;likno_modal_project.close();&quot; width=&quot;250&quot; height=&quot;233&quot;/&gt;</code></p> <p>but I want it to close automatically, not make them have to click on a button. </p>
