jquery - How to close current tab using javascript?

Question

I want to close current tab using javascript/Jquery. But I did not find any solution. I read that the window.close() only works with window which is open with window.open() method. So is there any way to send command to system that user press ctrl+w which is also close this window. fiddle

function down(){
window.close()
} 

Answer 1

It is possible. I searched the whole internet for this, but once when i took one of Microsoft's survey, I finally got the answer.

try this:

window.top.close();

this will close the current tab for you.
