I have opened a window from another page. On button click, I want to close this window. However, the browser is complaining that "Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it".

I tried:

window.open('', '_parent', '');
window.close();

but its not working. Please help.

The below code worked for me 

window.open('location of current page', '_self', '');
window.close();
