In my case  I just needed to close my pop-up and redirect the user to his profile page when he clicks  ok  after reading some message I tried with a few hacks  including setTimeout   self close    but with IE  this was closing the whole tab     Solution   I replaced my link with a simple submit button    lt button type  submit  onclick  window location href  profile html    gt buttonText lt  button gt   Nothing more   This may sound stupid  but I didn t think to such a simple solution  since my pop-up did not have any form   I hope it will help some front-end noobs like me

Your web window variable must have gone out of scope when you tried to close the window  Add this line into your  openpageview function to test   setTimeout function   web window close     1000
