closing the current popup window on button click in apex using salesforce

i am in a strange situation

I have an apex page inside that page there is a button on the click of which i call a a javascript method. From this method i call window.open(url) and open a new popup window.

Now this new window is also an apex page. This window contains a button.on the click of this button i want to close the current popup window using javascript.

can anybody suggest me what should i do?

i have tried:

**

window.close();
self.close();

**

I have tried with apex command button as well as with the HTML button.

but still window cant 开发者_Python百科be closed.

Perhaps same issue as this: In Visualforce pages, is it possible to use the command line in the Firebug console?

So try disabling development mode on your user.
