You can call a function onclick button:

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

If you want to use only html then you can do this:

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

or

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

To avert the default behavior for the event return false is used. The browser will attempt to open that URL otherwise.

Since you are wanting to open a new tab/window and close the current one, you will want to start a timeout for the window.close function.

HTML

<a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" onClick="javascript: setTimeout(window.close, 10);">Close Me</a>

I think you are looking for this.

<a href="javascript:window.close();">Close Window</a>

In your case:

echo '<th><a target="_blank" href="javascript:window.close();">Click</a></th>';
