Issue with window.close and chrome

rated 0 times [ 54] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 73655 / 15 Years ago, sat, january 9, 2010, 12:00:00

I'm trying to close a child window with JavaScript, and in Firefox everything works fine but in Chrome the window doesn't close.

Here is what I'm using

$(document).ready(function() {

    if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed)

        window.opener.location = "http://www.website.com"

    window.close();

});

I tried a suggestion on google, but to no avail.

Anyone having a similar issue or know of a work-around?

I know this question is old, but I ran into the same problem. This worked for me:

window.open('', '_self', ''); //bug fix

window.close();
