JavaScript 1.0
Synopsis
window.close( )Description
The close( ) method
closes the top-level browser window specified by
window. A window can close itself by
calling self.close( ) or simply close(
).
In JavaScript 1.1, only windows opened by JavaScript can be closed by
JavaScript. This prevents malicious scripts from causing the
user's browser to exit.
There is no meaningful way to close a frame within a window. Thus,
the close( ) method should be invoked only for
Window objects that represent top-level browser windows, not for
those that represent frames.

This fourth edition of the definitive reference to
JavaScript, a scripting language that can be embedded
directly in web pages, covers the latest version of the
language, JavaScript 1.5, as supported by Netscape 6 and
Internet Explorer 6. The book also provides complete
coverage of the W3C DOM standard (Level 1 and Level 2),
while retaining material on the legacy Level 0 DOM for
backward compatibility.
