I am updating content in an old site and am using an old extension to close a child page. It has worked fine up until I started using CS6. The code for this is in a template I am using and the code has not changed.

Question

So the site is www.fulcrumcwi.com and the page URL is: FulcrumCWI Rebecca Morgan Operations Strategy Consulting Newsletters.
if you choose the first HTML link to the current newsletter when you try to use the close buttons neither of them work.  Yet if you go down to the issue from January, and go to the HTML version, it works just fine.  This is the code that the extension puts in:
<form>
          <input name="Close" onclick="self.close();return false" type="button" value="Close" />
        </form>
I haven't changed it in any way.  The only change is that I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 to make these changes.  Anyone have a fix for me?
As always, thanks in advance.  (and yes, I know this site needs major updating)

Boy, that didn't really come out very well.
On the archive_newsletters.html page, the "HTML" links are supposed to have target="_blank" in them...
<a href="newsletters_html/2014_03.html" target="_blank">HTML</a>
so a new tab is opened with the info. That new tab is then closed by the this.close() javascript.
On the newsletters that don't close correctly, there is no target="_blank" to open them in a new window initially, so they can't close with that method.
