149105 - Javascript:winclose() should close only the current tab

Status: CLOSED DUPLICATE of bug 103452

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[David Tenser [:djst]]

If you open a pop-up window in a new tab and then press the Close button (which
normally uses the "Javascript:winclose()" command), the whole Mozilla window
will close.

Javascript:winclose() should always close only the current tab, since a Mozilla
window can contain more than one open web page. The site invoking the command
can never tell how many web pages are loaded in the window.

I don't know the winclose() function. The most likely option is that it's a
regular function defined within the site that simply calls window.close() to
close the window. Googling reveals that "winclose" is indeed a name very often
used for such a function on various javascript tutorial sites.
In which case I'm duping this correctly.

If however winclose turns out to be some special javascript function (perhaps
for the close button on our tab bar?) and there's more to this bug than I see,
do speak up.

Yes, this is probably the same as window.close().

I can't believe Bugilla returned Zarro Boogs when I searched it for
window.close()!! Sorry about the duplicate.

np. :)
Actually I duped this against the wrong (though related) bug as well. Sorry for
the spam.
