UI page does not close from client script

[Sagaya1]

Hi ,

I am trying to close the current UI page through client script but unable to close it . Please help.

Client script Code :

function onSubmit() {
var close = confirm("Thank You for your response. Please click on 'OK' to close the page");
if (close) {
 window.top.close();
}
}

Regards,

Sagaya .

this won't work and is not possible.

Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it." If your script did not initiate opening the window (with something like window. open), then the script in that window is not allowed to close it. Its a security to prevent a website taking control of your browser and closing windows.

window.close() doesn't work - Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it
