Adapt Learning Community: Close extension does not work in Chrome

Hello fellow Adapteers

In the adapt-close extension:

https://github.com/cgkineo/adapt-close

the code: "top.window.close();" should close the window, but when running the code in Chrome I get the error:

"Scripts may close only the windows that were opened by it."

As far as I understand this, it is a Chrome thing to not allow for a window to be closed by a script unless the window has been opened by the script in the first place.

Firefos does the same, but Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11 works fine.

Is there a way around this issue?

Thanks

Henrik

Yes, that's right. Typically this extension would be used with a course that is launched in a new popup window from something like a learning management system.

I'm not aware of any workaround for this for situations when the course is not launched in this manner.

Ok, thanks Matt

Tested this on SCORM Cloud and it works fine when the module is opened in a new window, as you say :)
