If you want to close the current popup, that must be the *LAST* thing you do.
But what I don't understand is where the PDF file you say the middle statement opens is supposed to go if you are (a) trying to put it into the current window [which is what window.location will do] and (b) trying to close the current window.
That just makes no sense, at all. |
By meaningless, do you mean that it won't run, because it does. The window.location does execute, it's just the final window.open() that doesn't run. I didn't write this, just trying to fix it so that it runs in IE. This code runs fine in Firefox.
Also, I'm not displaying the PDF, just generating it and saving it locally.
