Question

I opened a print window using window.print(). I tried using window.self.close(),
but I was unable to close that one. I am using Firefox. My idea was to close the window by itself if the user doesn’t perform any action on it.

This is the code I am using for print window.

 $('.click-print-paybymail').live("click", function (e) {
    var amount = $('.amount-enclosed').val();
    var ccnum = $('.credit-card-account-number').val();

    var isAllow = true;
    if (!isValidCC(ccnum)) {
        isAllow = false;
    }
    if (!isValidAmount(amount)) {
        isAllow = false;
    }
    if (isAllow) {
        window.print();
    }
});

You can not close the print dialog programmatically from javascript since it is not a browser window – its an operating system dialog.
