    <p>I'm making a form for an e-commerce site for the user to request a PDF about an item. The form works fine and sends the user to the "Thanks" page. On the thanks page I have jQuery set an interval to close the window after 5 seconds. But it does not work, neither does embedding the close command in a link. However, the interval will work if the "Thanks" page opens in a new tab.</p> <p>Here is the code in the php file (gets called after form has been successfully submitted).</p> <pre><code>/* Results rendered as HTML */ $theResults = &lt;&lt;&lt;EOD &lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /&gt; &lt;title&gt;Thanks&lt;/title&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="css/00000001/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { //wait a few seconds and close the window setInterval(function() { window.close(); }, 5000); }); &lt;/script&gt; &lt;style type="text/css"&gt; body{ background-color: transparent; margin: auto auto auto auto; border: none; } #general-copy{ background-color: transparent; margin: -5px auto auto 0px; position: absolute; width: 300px; height: 350px; padding: 0px 15px 15px 15px; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:100; text-align: justify; z-index: 3; } &lt;/style&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class="lettertext"&gt; Thank you for your request.&lt;br /&gt; We will email you a pdf all about $item2Field. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;p style="font-size: 10px;"&gt;This window should close itself in 5 seconds.&lt;br&gt; If it doesn't please click &lt;a href="javascript:window.close()"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; to return to the site. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt; EOD; echo "$theResults"; ?&gt; </code></pre> <p>If you wish to see this running live you can try it out <a href="http://ecofirstart.com/mm5/request-info.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

    1. COReally, you should avoid the need for new windows and closing them, it is prevented frequently. If you need a pop-up, create an overlay.

    2. COPretty much what @Orbling said, your scenario looks more like a bad use of jQuery.

    3. COI will probably transfer it in as an overlay later, but for now a pop-up is what I'm looking for.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
