// IF you use in a button
<button onclick="window.close();">Exit</button>
// if you use in function
function closeWin() {
  myWindow.close();   // Closes the new window
}
// But it will only work when you open a window through your code like this
function openWin() {

}
// You can't close the current window that was open by browser. beacuse browser don't give permission for this
