Solution 2

I could have got the solution if you would done a Google search for - window.close firefox/safari.

Read this blog post: Mozilla firefox JavaScript window.close() not working / does not work in firefox[^]

This is for Firefox. I guess the methods given would work for Safari as well.

Solution 1

<code>document.close();</code> :-O
u can use it in asp.net by <code>request.write("<script language='javascript'> document.close(); </script>");</code>

That would not even close the window in IE. STOP giving WRONG answers or else I will have to report it to the admins.
