ScriptManager after button submit

Question

I have written a script manager to open a page in new tab. The scriptManager is called on a button click, I want when the button click is called the popup window should get close. Please see my scriptmanager.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup", String.Format("window.open('{0}','_tab ')", ResolveUrl("dummy.aspx")), true);

Please help to close the popup window

While this is technically possible to do if the new window is in the same domain as the parent window, there are a number of security and usability reasons why this is a bad idea. If you need to open a window that the parent page has control of, consider using an ajax popup window instead. http://www.asp.net/ajax/ajaxcontroltoolkit/samples/modalpopup/modalpopup.aspx — Dave, Oct 21 '14 at 14:30

You can save instance of window.open and use that instance to close. Like declare global variable in aspx , say var win; in script tag, modify ScriptManager to use following.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup", String.Format("win = window.open('{0}','_tab ')", ResolveUrl("dummy.aspx")), true);

And if you want to close the pop up , from the page who opened popup, then use following

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup","win.close();", true);

And if you want to close with in popup page, then use following.

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup","window.close();", true);

Having said all of these, there is BIG disclaimer. In short, close does not work most of times, because of browser security. Following are the details.

Actually due to security reason and user experience aspects you can now can't cause the browser to be closed[Completely], only popup windows can be closed or the one parent to a script.

Just go through this - window.close and self.close do not close the window in Chrome More link - http://www.w3.org/TR/html51/browsers.html#dom-window-close

I want to close the popup after the button submit. I cant use both the ScriptManager at the same time – Nad Oct 21 '14 at 14:47
@NadeemKhan, these are alternatives, you have to use only one, let me know from where do you want to close? – Arindam Nayak Oct 21 '14 at 14:53
I need to close after the button submit. – Nad Oct 21 '14 at 14:53
Is it from `from the page who opened popup` or `pop up it self has to be closed on button submit?` – Arindam Nayak Oct 21 '14 at 14:55
popup itself has to be closed on button submit – Nad Oct 21 '14 at 14:57
Then use 2nd one i.e. `ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup","window.close();", true);` – Arindam Nayak Oct 21 '14 at 14:58
but it will not open my new tab – Nad Oct 21 '14 at 15:01
You told earlier that, you need to `close`, but you are asking that `will not open my new tab`? I am not getting clearly what you want – Arindam Nayak Oct 21 '14 at 15:16
I want to close my tab after the button submit, which is in popup – Nad Oct 21 '14 at 15:18
If i get it correctly, you have already opened a popup, and in popup you are doing some operation, then in there , on button submit, you will close that pop up (button exists in popup), then you can use the script which i told you earlier. – Arindam Nayak Oct 21 '14 at 15:54
yes now you get correctly, but for the closing popup. which script should I use. ? – Nad Oct 22 '14 at 05:35

Use this script ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(Page, Page.GetType(), "popup","window.close();", true); – Arindam Nayak Oct 22 '14 at 06:00
