Answer 1

Javascript can close a window if a javascript code opens it.

Open window using javascript

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openWin(url, target, args){
        if(target && args)window.open(url, target, args);
        else if(target)window.open(url, target);
        else window.open(url);
    }
</script>
<a href="javascript:openWin('close.html');">Open window</a>
<a href="close.html" target="_self">Open window that won't close</a>

Close window using javascript

<a href="javascript:if(window.opener)window.close();">Close window</a>

It's simple, and it works in IE6, 7, 8, 9, Chrome, FF, Opera, Safari, etc... I tested it

You can fix this in IE by setting the self.opener property:

self.opener = this;
self.close();

EDIT: it looks like MS may have fixed this bug (it was always a bug exploit). Looks like you're out of luck unless you open the window originally yourself, and close it from the same page that opens it.

Answer 3

another solution

window.opener = "";
window.close();

Answer 4

It's a security feature. After all, how would you like it if some website you went to decided to close your browser window?

The most correct way to avoid this is to have opened the browser window from javascript. When you do that, the parent window is allowed to close the window without asking the user.

Answer 5

 function openpopup()
 {


     {
         var closeurl = "Default2.aspx";
        var popurl = "FrmUserLoginpage.aspx";
        winpops = window.open(popurl, "HMSAJAX", "toolbar=no,menubar=no, resizable=yes,status=yes,scrollbars=yes");
        window.open('', '_self', '');
        window.close();

    }

}
