Hi
Being a total newbie can someone explain how to fo this

I have a form

PHP Code:

<form name="coupon" target="_blank" action="http://www.mydomain.com/shop/index.php" method="post"><input name="coupon_code" type="text" style="width:20%;margin:1px;text-align:left;">
 
  <br><input type="image" src="http://www.mydomain.com.co.uk/shop/includes/languages/english/images/buttons/button_continue.gif" border="0" alt="Continue" title=" Continue " >
</form> 


now all I want to do is get this to open in a new window (it does already) but I want the pop up window to automatically close after 10 seconds

I also want the pop up box to say - this window will automatically close at the top

can this be done - how do i add it to my form

thank YOU

can this be done - how do i add it to my form

Yes and you don't add it to the form it will need to be done in the new page that opens.

how ??

Add a timer to fire self.close

BUT it will trigger whenever the page opens NOT just when called from the form. So you may need to rethink the strategy.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

you could open the page with a query ?timer=1000, then check for the query with the window.location.search property, and close it according to this data. If no timer data, no window close.

well basically i want a customer to put a discount coupon in on a webpage, which connects directly to my oscommerce shop, and shows that the coupon has been redeemed

then the customer goes back to the shop from a different link from the original webpage, and adds a certain product to the basket.

the original form works great, but i want the oscommerce page to close after say 5 seconds, so the customer puts in a coupon, the oscommerce site says redeemed, then automatically closes the page, so when the customer puts the product in their basket, there is only 1 page open still not 2

i hope that makes sense, its a bit hard to explain
