• JavaScript can't manipulate tabs. – Barmar Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 0:58
• Since i am opening the window/tab not using window.open so. I am able to close the particular tab by TabID using programmatically – Shankar Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 15:54
• JS can only close a window/tab that it opened. If you don't use window.open, you can't close it. – Barmar Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 15:56
• I am able to close the particular tab by TabID using programmatically You keep stating that, but it's not true. Why do you think you're able to do that? Where do you get the TabID from? – Barmar Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 15:58
• I think a browser extension can do this, but not JavaScript in an ordinary page. – Barmar Commented Mar 14, 2019 at 15:58

before you close the current tab, you need to open it using "window.open()". the window.close button works only the windows that opened by it.

You can close the current tab with this javascript line:

window.top.close();

But there are things that you should keep in mind:

• This will only work if the tab is also opened programmatically.

  By using window.open();, you can close the opened tab with the javascript line above.

• Not all browsers support this solution
