	Hey Naoki,


	To create a button that will close the window in regular HTML, 

just create your image graphic that you want to use and surround it with 

the code that closes the window:


	<A HREF="#" onClick='self.close()'><IMG SRC="close.gif" 

HEIGHT="100" WIDTH="100"></A>


	or, if you want to use a regular form button (like a submit 

button, for instance), try:


	<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Close Window" onClick='self.close()'>


	Just want to point out a small misnomer here... what you are 

discussing is not Java.  It's JavaScript.  Java is a full-featured 

programming language like C++ that became popular on the 'net because of 

applets, which are small Java programs which run in a browser.  

JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that Flash can use to 

perform window opening/closing and other neat little things.  It's also 

the prime component (along with VBScript) of dynamic HTML.
