**Jensen Ackles** · 10-05-2010

Hello,
I want to close a window using a java script, I have a piece of code but that is not working. So, if you know how to do this or if you can give me some idea to do this then it will be appreciated. Thank you for your help.

Hello,
This is the code you are looking for

Code:

<html>
<head>
 <title>Window close </title>
</head>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript1.2">
function popuponclick()
{
 testwindow = window.open("",
    "mywindow","status=1,width=350,height=150");
testwindow.document.write('<H1>The Popup Window</H1>');  
}

function clpop()
{
 if(false == testwindow.closed)
 {
    testwindow.close ();
 }
 else
 {
    alert('Window already closed!');
 }
}
</SCRIPT>
<body>
<P>
<A href="javascript: popuponclick()">Open Popup Window</A>
</P>
<P>
<A href="javascript: clpop()">Close the Popup Window</A>
</P>
</body>
</html>

Hello,
The above is correct alternatively you can also try the following

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>Test close window</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--

function opwn(){
window.open('example.html', '');
window.close();
}

// -->
</script>
</head>

<body onload="window.opener='';opwn()">
</body>
</html>
