how to close a window in FireFox?

Jake Barnes

I've a button that onclick calls a function that calls the following
code. The last 3 lines are for IE, which didn't want to close till I
put in the funny line with opener.

window.parent.focus();
window.close();
window.opener = window;
window.close();
window.parent.focus();

This closes a window in IE, but in FireFox an odd thing happens. I have
to mouseout of something before it closes. If I click the button and
then leave the mouse sitting there, above the button, then nothing
happens in FireFox. It's as if the code is broken.

I did originally have window.blur in their, instead of parent.focus.
But I took it out a while ago and did shift-refresh in FireFox.

window.parent.focus();

window.top.focus();

window.close();

that can't work if the window hasn't opened by javascript

window.opener = window;

old code to try to mystify browser

window.close();

and that yet works with FireFox ?

window.parent.focus();

Perhaps is it not too much happy ?
