Closing seperate browser after cfcontent

Question

Hi all,
I would like to get some help on cfcontent.
I use cfcontent to open a pdf in a seperate browser,
which works.I have a close button on the parent
window, along with other information related to the document.
When I hit the close button, I would like the pdf
browser(window)
to close. It doesn't seem to recognize that the PDFImage
window is open.
Below is my code to display the image
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="#URL.Image#">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf" file="#URL.Image#">
//Code to close the image window in the parent window close
button.
function closepage(){
//one way
if (window.PDFImage && window.PDFImage.open
&& !window.PDFImage.closed){
window.PDFImage.close();
//other way
if (PDFImage != null && PDFImage.open){
PDFImage.close();
The next issue is, I am trying to display a jpg in a
<table, the image must
be within the table. It works when I have the <img tag,
but I Would
like to replace it, due to some sharing violation of the
image being displayed.
cfcontent seems to work, but it takes the whole browser,
other codes(like buttons)
are ignored.
<table align="left" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
class="withborder">
<tr> <td><span id="List3">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition"
value="#Form.image_file#">
<cfcontent type="image/jpeg" file="#Form.image_file#">
<!---<img border="2" id="img1" src="#Form.image_file#"
width="250">--->
</span></td>
</tr>
</table>
I am using MX 7. Any suggestions/solutions are welcome.
Thanks all for your time.

The online help for the onClick Javascript field says
"In the link generated for this icon include the following onClick javascript.  Use of the onclick javascript could popup a help page in a new window (see example 1).
Example 1:
  window.open('US/asfhhome.htm','Help','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=625,height=350,left=25,top=150');return false
Set the Icon Target attribute to # if you are using OnClick JavaScript. Set the Image Alt Text attribute to the text the user will see to click on."So, try putting "#" in the Target and window.close() in the onClick Javascript box.
