How can you close a Visualforce page?

Pretty self explanatory...I want to make a button that closes the visualforce page...and no, window.close() doesn't work :robotmad:

Hey , I'm having the same problem. Tried a lot of things and still can't get around this problem.
Anyone has found a way to close a VF page????

Does this work for you?

<script>
this.parent.window.close();
</script>

It's because the iframe is embedding into the page.

Keep in mind that if the user is not in developer mode there will not be a window.parent.

You don't need to be in developer mode to need the parent object. My page is rendered inside an iframe and therefore I need a parent in the statement.

If I was in development mode then I'd need an extra parent (this.parent.parent.window.close()) potentially...

my html output looks like:-

<iframe  frameborder="0" height="600px" id="itarget" name="itarget" scrolling="auto" src="/apex/wiz_Homepage" title="Content" width="100%"></iframe>

if you see anything like this you'll need the parent in your VF page.

window.top() would be useful in this scenario.

Thanks, used window.top.close(). My page was not in an iframe though.

<apex:commandButton onClick="window.top.close();"  value="Close" />
