如何使用JavaScript关闭浏览器中的窗口

Question

I have:

var myWindow;
    $('#facebook').click(function(){
        myWindow = window.open(this.href, "myWindowName", "width=800, height=600");
        return false;
});

but now when I try:

myWindow.close();

I get: VM156:2 Uncaught ReferenceError: my is not defined(…)

Why? How to solve this problem?

You will need Javascript to do this. Use window.close() :

close();

Note: the current window is implied. This is equivalent:

window.close();

or you can specify a different window.

So:

function close_window() {
  if (confirm("Close Window?")) {
    close();
  }
}

with HTML:

<a href="javascript:close_window();">close</a>

or:

<a href="#" onclick="close_window();return false;">close</a>
