Question

I have a zend framework project and I am loading some javascript in a page. How do I close that page from inside the javascript code?

window.close() only works when the current window/tab/page was opened with window.open(), that not being my case, it’s not a solution.

Any other solution?

There are ways to do this, but they are “hack”ish.

javaScript can not, for security reasons, close a window that it did not open. You can, however, use a trick to make the browser think your current window was opened by javaScript:

window.open('', '_self', '');
window.close();
