I have javascript enabled for firefox.
However the following code won't run, it works fine in IE:
<form name="name" onsubmit="closeshop()">
<input type="submit" value="Close">
</form></center>
The function looks like this:
<script>
<!--
function closeshop()
{
window.close("close now");
}
//-->
</script>
As there is not action in the form, it just tries to load the page again, can anyone help with this?
Thanks in advance

window.close()
This method is only allowed to be called for windows that were opened by a script using the window.open method. If the window was not opened by a script, the following error appears in the JavaScript Console: Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script.

If you did not open this window as a child window, you cannot close it. Click Tools->Javascript Console. Click on clear. Go back to the browser and refresh the page. Click on submit button. Go back to javascrip console, you should see the error/warning message. There is a hack to overcome this in IE and if you are using it, it won't work in FF or probably future version of IE.
