Help with browser differences
I am writing an electronic card system for my company. Everything is going great but now I have one problem between IE and Firefox. When you view the card that was sent to you there is a Close Window button at the bottom. This button works in IE but not in Firefox. I can't figure out why. Here is the code from each browser. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Didn't work. Here is a link that you can use to see how it works in IE but not in Firefox.
