In JavaScript  we can close a window only if it is opened by using window open method  window open  https   www google com    window close     But to close a window which has not been opened using window open    you must  Open any other URL or a blank page in the same tab Close this newly opened tab  this will work because it was opened by window open     window open  quot  quot    quot  self quot    window close

Update    Since posting the answer the latest versions of browsers prevent the command from working  I ll leave the answer visible but note it ONLY works on older browser versions   Most browsers prevent you from closing windows with javascript that were not opened with window open  quot https   example url com quot   however  it is still possible to close the current window using the following command  window open      self   close   This loads a blank url  the first argument  in the current window  the second argument  and then instantaneously closes the window  This works because when close   is called  the current window has been opened by javascript

Works only in Google Chrome with self close     Tested in v48   window close   won t do what you want as the documentation for it clearly states that scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it

To close your current window using JS  do this  First open the current window to trick your current tab into thinking it has been opened by a script  Then close it using window close    The below script should go into the parent window  not the child window  You could run this after running the script to open the child     lt script type  text javascript  gt      window open      parent            window close     lt  script gt

I suggest to put id to the input  and close the window by callback function as the following     lt input id  close window  type  button  class  btn btn-success                     style  font-weight  bold display  inline                      value  Close  gt    The callback function as the following     lt script gt         close window   on  click   function          window opener   self        window close            lt  script gt    I think sometimes onclick doesn t work  check the following answer also
