Window.close not working in Google-chrome-frame

Question

I am using Google Chrome Frame to make a page render in IE as if it would in Chrome.

The page opens another page via window.open() that page has nothing set for GCF but since it is opened from a page that is, it automatically is too.

I have this on the page so it automatically closes once the user submits the form it contains:

<script type="text/javascript">
<?php
if($_POST['submit'])
{
    // ... Process

    ?>
    window.opener.location.reload(true);
    window.close();
    <?php
}
?>
</script>

It works in regular Chrome but the window is not closes in IE using GCF. Also the windows size isn't being set right when opened either (is in Chrome).

Any ideas?

Answer 1

It's been a while since I've done this, but try this

    window.opener = null;
    window.close();

EDIT

this should work in chrome

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