Actually using the window.close , we can control whether browser is closed or not, but it works only for pop-ups created by the browser.

Please also reply if you know specifics regarding Firefox.





Thanks in advance!

So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...
