Closing browser current tab via javascript

Question

I want to close the current browser tab via javascript in asp.net. So for this i am using window.close() method and its working fine. But the main issue is that if I opened a new asp.net page on same tab by using right click menu then "close" button is not closing current tab.

Close button and script both are on "Master page".

Do you mean that if you create another tab and then call window.close() it's not closing the original tab? — Luke
On the same tab, if i redirect new asp.net page and click on close button then its not closing this tab. — prakash menaria
I think you have't got my issue. If I opened new page on same tab like on existing tab then browser tab is not closed by client side javascript. — prakash menaria
