= Close =

== Background and rationale ==

Moin allows internal linking with the parameter target="_blank.

{{{[[SomePage||target="_blank"]]}}}

This forces the browser to open the target in a new tab or window, which is convenient if you don't want the user to loose their position in the calling window.

However, if this is forced by target="_blank", the user should be given an obvious way to close the new tab or window.

== Description ==

The Close macro inserts a link to make a Java close request. By default it inserts 'Close' as the link label, with the parameter set to provides alternative text. No wiki markup is processed.


== Usage ==
{{{
<<Close([link text])>>
}}}

== Download & Release Notes ==
|| Download || Release Version || Moin Version || Release Notes ||
|| [[attachment:Close.py]] || || 1.9.2, 1.9.8 ||  ||

== Examples ==

{{{
<<Close()>>

<<Close(Exit)>>
}}}

||<style="border:none; color: #0000FF;">Close<<BR>><<BR>>Exit||

== Known issues and limitations ==

 * The close link is still included when the tab/window was opened without a target="_blank" parameter, but will cause no action.
