Window Close Method

Please make sure you allow popups or this won't open a window...

This opens a window to test the windows.close method below:


The window opener:


<script language="javascript">

function open_a_window() 
{
   window.open("window_to_close.htm"); 

   return false;
}

</script>

<input type="button" onclick="return open_a_window();" value="Open New Window/Tab" />


The window closer:


<script language="javascript">

function quitBox(cmd) 
{      
    if (cmd=='quit')    
    {
       open(location, '_self').close();    
    }     
    return false;   
}

</script>

<input type="button" onclick="return quitBox('quit');" value="Close This Window/Tab" />
