How do I close my window in Xpage?

Question

Actually I am using the following code for closing my current window:

window.close()

The thing is, it is working fine in IE, but it is not

Answer 1

I use window.close with no problems in 8.5.3 apps with Chrome / FF / IE.

In the main page of an app, the "Case Document" I have some CSJS at the top that names the page ie.

window.name="mainWindow";

and then I have a button that allows you to ask a question - this pops up a new window/tab and keeps the main case doc open as well. In the new window, there's a submit button that does a full update and in the onComplete event I have the following CSJS to update the main doc so you can see the question on the main doc in the repeat control that shows the threads of Q & A docs:

    if (window.opener!=null){
        window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href; 
        window.close();}
    else {
        alert("Can't refresh parent case doc - have you closed the window?");
    }

Hope this helps
