If I understand your question correctly, you were able to open a new window using "window.open", but you don't know how to close it?   Did you look at: "window.close"?

My guidance is that what you're trying to do just doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense.

 

My guidance is to stop coding immediately and start again, now that you have a better understanding of how visual force and apex work.  You've asked like 20 questions about this one bit of code, and you've ended up with something very wierd.

 

My guidance is, before you try writing *any* code again, write out in english what you're trying to accomplish and why.   At the very least you can use these as comments into your code which will help you explain it and understand it when you come back to it later.

 

My guidance is that Salesforce has a "style".  A set of visual interface behaviors.  A way of interfacing with it.  If you attempt to come up with a style of your own, popping up windows where they don't normally pop up, using your own html layout instead of just using Apex components,etc. you may eventually succeed in coming up with the interface you want, however it will far more painful than if you buy into the Salesforce look and feel that Apex components generate for you and just accept it.

 

Lastly, you seem to have spent an astounding amount of time working on this, asking a lot of questions to the board, etc.  You might consider that learning how to code through trial and error might not be the best strategy.  I'd advise you to find a mentor or tutor near you who you can sit down with for a few hours and they can go over the specifications with you, perhaps suggest different approaches, and when it's time to code, show you some standard ways of accomplishing the things you're looking to do.

 

Best of luck, Steve.
