HTML code to close window

**Jacek** · 12-01-2009

On a site on which I'm working right now, whenever a user selects something a small window pops up with a description on it. I want to put a button on this windows that says "Close this Window". Can anyone help me out and guide me the code of this?

You can simply use the following code:

Code:

<input type=button value="close window" onclick="window.close()">

If you would like to close a window, this JavaScript code will enable you to do just that. This JavaScript code will enable your users to close a window simply by clicking on a link.

Place this code within your HTML code where you would like the button to appear:

Code:

<a href="javascript: self.close()">Close Window</a>

To close a window using a button:

Code:

<form>
<input type="button" value="Close Window" onClick="self.close()">
</form>

To close a window using a (simple) link:

Code:

<font face="arial, helvetica" size="-2"><a href="javascript:self.close()" target="_self">Close window</a></font>

To close a window:

HTML Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>FunctionX Tutorials</title>
</head>
<body>
To close a window using a text link<br>
<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close</a>
</body>
</html>

Is this code browser dependent? Does it work under Firefox also?

Below code worked for me in Firefox. Just put this code in a test page and try it:

HTML Code:

<html>
<title>SSOne (JavaScript: Close Window)</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close This Window</a>
<br>
<form>
<input type=button value="Close This Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();">
</form>
</body>
</html>
