Comments on: Close a window or tab in Firefox with JavaScript… http://www.interwebby.com/2006/02/04/3/ Some Stuff About Some Stuff Sat, 19 May 2012 21:57:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.1 by: jasonpsage http://www.interwebby.com/2006/02/04/3/#comment-57 Sun, 07 Jan 2007 13:06:48 +0000 http://www.interwebby.com/2006/02/04/3/#comment-57 This is the ONLY example that has actually WORKED. Now I'm sure there are caveats - BUT my "Happyness" comes from the fact that your SOLUTION for FireFOX is the ONLY ONLY ONLY script I've seen work on the new IE7 ;) COOL! P.S. Zenith - I tried your solution on IE7 and it did not work. You never claimed it would in IE7 - Just thought I'd share that key difference with all. This is the ONLY example that has actually WORKED.

You can compress this down to a single line as follows : javascript:window.open('javascript:window.close();','_self',''); Nice solution. Thanks very much. You can compress this down to a single line as follows :

javascript:window.open(’javascript:window.close();’,'_self’,'’);

But it was successful till certain extent. When there is only single tab in the FF, then whole window gets closed that to expire the session. But whenever there are multiple tabs & I am using this script, then it closes that perticular tab. which is not closing the session. i.e. if I am opening any other tab in the same FF window, I get the old session - without login again. Which is wrong. Please help me to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance. Ganesh Thanks for the solution to the firefox. But it was successful till certain extent.

After seeing “No, it’s impossible” virtually everywhere, I finally found a post with a hilariously short and simple (hence, brilliant) solution to yes, closing pop-up windows in Firefox. Very handy.

I get alot of hassle from the guys at work about Firefox issues, but they all come down to the fact that IE never seems to holds to any standards. Thanks again for letting me rub yet another IE issue in their face :-) Thanks so much.

But, on Linux and Mac platform, it will open a new window instead of closing it. Anyone having the same problem? Care to share the solution?
