Issue with window.close and chrome

Question

I'm trying to close a child window with JavaScript, and in Firefox everything works fine but in Chrome the window doesn't close. Here is what I'm using ``` $(document).ready(function() { if (window.opener && !window.opener.closed) window.opener.location = "http://www.website.com" window.close(); }); ``` I tried a suggestion on google, but to no avail. Anyone having a similar issue or know of a work-around?

Accepted Answer

I know this question is old, but I ran into the same problem. This worked for me:

```
window.open('', '_self', ''); //bug fix
window.close();
```
