i am having a problem closing a window in javascript.

first when a user clicks a button i dynamically create a window, but i want to add a button on the newly created window so when a user clicks the button it will close the new window.

for example

Code:

/*creates a new window */
newWin = window.open("","", "toolbar=yes,width=650,height=600,resizable=yes");
newWin.document.write(  /*html code goes here */ );

so i want to create a button on newWin object so when a users clicks it, it will close.
i've tried

Code:

/*creates a button */
newWin.document.write("<input type='button' value='Close'>");
if(newWin.document.captureEvents(Event.Onclick)) {
                newWin.close();
}

but that doesn't work, is there way to add listeners in javascript so when a user clicks a button it will close.

thanks for you help

Try this code :

Code:

<script>
function openWin() {
    newWin = window.open("","", "toolbar=yes,width=650,height=600,resizable=yes");
    var closebutton = newWin.document.createElement("input");
    closebutton.setAttribute("type", "button");
    closebutton.setAttribute("value", "Close this window");
    closebutton.setAttribute("onclick", "window.close()");
    newWin.document.body.appendChild( closebutton );
}
</script>

<input type="button" value="Open a window" onclick="openWin()">
