How to close the mashup on button click

[Janakiraman]

Existing Answer in the forum:

Add an expression widget, and set it on Expression=close(); 

Then you just need to trigger that expression widget whenever you want to close the browser window.

I tried the above solution to close the current tab by a button click, It is working fine when it is triggered from the parent window(E.g: triggered from view mashup option) But not working when I copy the URL put into the new window.

Kindly provide the solution for this ASAP.

Thank You

Hi,

Do we have any other option to close the current tab or complete browser?

I need it.
