Closes the window.
This method should only succeed if the WindowBase
object is
script-closeable and the window calling close
is allowed to navigate
the window.
A window is script-closeable if it is either a window that was opened by another window, or if it is a window with only one document in its history.
A window might not be allowed to navigate, and therefore close, another window due to browser security features.
var other = window.open('http://www.example.com', 'foo');
// Closes other window, as it is script-closeable.
other.close();
print(other.closed()); // 'true'
window.location('http://www.mysite.com', 'foo');
// Does not close this window, as the history has changed.
window.close();
print(window.closed()); // 'false'
