//close window section is the problem, it just won't close the current tab. I am jus running some code to download a file and then I require the tab to close automatically as if nothing happened to make the UX better. But window.close(); and close(); is not working. Tried a lot of stuff found on Internet still not working. What's wrong with my code?
var url_string = window.location; //window.location.href
var url = new URL(url_string);
var file = url.searchParams.get("file");
var dFile = file;
function onLoad() {
if (dFile !== null) {
var hiddenElement = document.createElement('a');
// Download
hiddenElement.href = `${dFile}`;
hiddenElement.target = '_blank';
hiddenElement.download = `${dFile}`;
hiddenElement.click();
//Close Window
var win = window.open("about:blank", "_self");
win.close();
} else {
}
}
//Set The value of the File being Downloaded
if (dFile !== null) {
var SetFile = document.getElementById('xdFile')
SetFile.innerHTML = "Downloading" + " " + dFile + " " + "now"
}
