Close popup with javascript

Question:

---

Is there a javascript function to close the popup, so that I can attach it to a button within the page loaded within it. Reloading the page is not an option, as I'm working with loads of ajax panels, which would then be reset.

You can easily close the popup window by following the next steps: 

1. Give your layer popup window a name. You can do this in the Adv Layer Popup options. make sure it starts with capital letter, like MyWindow
2. Create a button or link that you want to use for closing
3. Add the behavior call javascript on the onclick of the button or link
4. use the following javascript:

cDMXPopupWindow.closeWindow('dmxPopupMyWindow')

Note: As you can see I've prefixed the window name with dmxPopup - this is necessary so don't forget it!

Note2: If you want to put the close command in the layer popup window self you must prefix it with parent:

parent.cDMXPopupWindow.closeWindow('dmxPopupMyWindow')
