I am trying to open new tab via Javascript using window.open(), then using window.close() to close, but it seems window.close() doesn't work in safari( iOS 8 GM seed). Here is the code:

A.html:

<button onclick=window.open('./B.html'); return false;>Open B</button>

B.html:

<button onclick=window.close();>Close</button>

I tried several ways like: setTimeout, window.open() then close, but doesn't help.

Is there any workaround for this situation?
