CloseTab Function

Class

BrowserApplication.

Action

Closes either a specified tab or the active tab.

Availability

This function is supported only in scripts that use the Open Agent, and works with the following browsers:
  • Mozilla Firefox
  • Internet Explorer 7.0 or later
  • Google Chrome

Syntax

browserWindow = browserApplication.CloseTab([tab])
Variable Description
tab Optional: The tab to close. LISTITEM.

Notes

When several tabs are open, Internet Explorer only displays some of the tabs and scroll buttons. As a result, only the currently visible tabs work with this method, which affects index semantics. For example, only the currently visible tabs are used with the LISTITEM tab parameter. Index 1 identifies the first visible tab.

CloseTab returns the active BrowserWindow after closing the tab.

Example

InternetExplorer.CloseTab()
