what is the html code to close a browser or tab?

Question

..i set up a file download and want to close the browser or tab when download completes....

Answer 1

If you want to do it automatically you must use Java script to do it.

Answer 2

There is no such thing in html. HTML is just markup language.

Javascript can be used to close a browser instance using the window.close() method, however, there is no event associated with the end of a file download that you could hook it onto. The window could of course have a button that executes the window.close in the onClick event, but I'm guessing you were hoping for something tied to the download.
