Question

I am wondering whether it’s possible to close a tab as soon as a new site has loaded, without having to use js on the new site. I basically want to close the tab when we receive any content from the new site.

I use this to trigger a click event which submits a form:

$('#target_attack').click();

I tried putting window.close() right after this, but the tab closed without having loaded the new site.

I also tried to pause the script for 3 seconds and then close the tab, but for some reasons the site then won’t load.

I also thought about using sessions but this means I would have to use js on the other site too, which I want to avoid.

I hope you guys can help a little javascript noob C:
Thanks in advance!

Guessing you are using window.open to open it in a new tab.

var winPop = window.open(url);
$(winPop.document).ready(function() {
    window.close();
});
