I don't get completely what you are trying to do but here are some tips:

window.open("https://slackoverflow.com");

is used to open an entirely new window(can be used to open local files as well ofc)

window.close();

window.close() Closes the tab.

<a target="_blank" href="http://your_url_here.html">Page yada yada</a>

And this can be used to open a link or page in a new tab. If you play around with these for a little itll start to catch on.

I hope some of these ideas help and will help you put together what you are trying to accomplish :)

I did a search on the subject and this page is what i found.

html (not mine)

<input type="button" name="Quit" id="Quit" value="Quit" onclick="return quitBox('quit');" />

JavaScript (not mine)

function quitBox(cmd)
{   
    if (cmd=='quit')
    {
        open(location, '_self').close();
    }   
    return false;   
}

There is even a test page.

I did a search for a bunny rabbit too (which isn't mine either).

I did a search on the subject and this page is what i found.

I did a test with this code and confirmed it is not supported. The comments are good reading.

JavaScript (not mine)

function close_window() {
  if (confirm("Close Window?")) {
    window.close();
  }
}

html (not mine)

<a href="javascript:close_window();">close</a>

<a href="#" onclick="close_window();return false;">close</a>
