Works in IE..but not in Netscape?

[JVRudnick]

Hello all...

I'm wondering about the code below...I wrote it in IE, but as it's javascript, isn't it supposed to work in Netscape too?

Or is my code wonky?

<center>

<a NAME="closeButton" ONCLICK="closeButton">

<img src="images2/duckyCLOSE.jpg" width="161" height="49" border="0">
</a>

<SCRIPT FOR="closeButton" EVENT="onclick" LANGUAGE="vbscript">
  Window.close
</SCRIPT>
</center>

Can anyone offer up what I've done wrong?

No need for using the proprietary for attribute in script, nor using VBScript, nor even using <script>:

<a name="closeButton" onclick="window.close()">

K.I.S.S. (Keep it simple, stupid )

I think you missed the point? The closing tag for the anchor didn't have to be changed, and since it contained HTML, no need to post unmodified code. Maybe you didn't notice how I didn't include any child nodes with it either? Nor a valid document structure to contain it in?
