Logging Out Problems

I want my user to be able to close their browser tab or browser and log out. I used this example http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … -feature/. I copied and pasted this code in the <head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> <!-- function closewindow() { self.opener = this; self.close() } //--> </script></head>

I also copied and pasted this code in the <body><a href="nojavascript... closewindow()">Log Out (This will close your browser window)</a></body>

I tested it in IE 10 and Chrome 30.0.1599.101 m. My window in both browsers doesn't close and I stay logged in. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Dave

Give this a try.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

<title></title>
<script>
function closeBrowser(){
window.close();
}
</script>

</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="closeBrowser();">Click to close</a>
</body>
</html>
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I do that all the time. Ask a question then go looking for the answer. I try to think about the question and then look for the answer. If I can't find it I will then ask if I can remember my question after all that searching. Google can take you astray sometimes.:lol:
