如何关闭window.open

Question

I know that you can close a window.open with window.close but is there another way. I have a popup that opens facebook connect and i want to shut the popup whenever the user connects to facebook and then refresh the parent window...I thought in the past i used

TARGET = "_top"

here is my code

$(document).ready(function(){
  $('#signin_menu a').click(function (){
    window.open(
  $('#signin_menu a').attr("href"),
  'mywindow',
  'width=850,height=400'
       );
    return false;
  });
})

Also

$('#signin_menu a').attr("href")

is equal to

"https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=145554402127660&display=popup&redirect_uri=http://pgp.dev/fb_receive&scope=publish_stream,rsvp_event,offline_access,email,user_about_me,user_activities,user_birthday,user_events,user_groups,user_interests,user_likes,user_location,user_notes,user_online_presence,user_photo_video_tags,user_status,user_website,read_friendlists"

So How do i close this popup

Answer 1

You can use close() method of created popup that is returned by the open() method as object:

var myPopup;

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#signin_menu a').click(function (){

        myPopup = window.open(
            $('#signin_menu a').attr("href"),
            'mywindow',
            'width=850,height=400');

        return false;
    });
})

To close do the following:

myPopup.close();
