Problem in Exit button on Browser

Question

Hi,
I am using a Command Toolbar button named Exit. By the way, I am using the below code in the "action" block.
public String cb1_action2()
        // Add event code here...
    FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.render.ExtendedRenderKitService service = org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.util.Service.getRenderKitService(facesContext, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
    service.addScript(facesContext, "window.close();window.opener.location.href = window.opener.location.href;");
    return null;
    }This code is working well in Firefox.(Am using Firefox 13.0).
But It is not working in any other browsers such as Google Chrome, Safari. How can I overcome this?
I apologize for this question which has no root from ADF. Hope I'll get some guidance.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi,
don't think there is a common solution that works with all browsers. For me the code below works fine on IE but fails on FF
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
          xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
          xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
          xmlns:af="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich">
  <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"/>
  <f:view>
    <af:document id="d1">
      <af:resource type="javascript">
      var myWindow = window;
        function doclose(evt){
            window.close();
        function doopen(evt){
            myWindow=window.open("","","width=200,height=100");
            myWindow.document.write("<p>This is 'myWindow'</p>");
      </af:resource>
      <af:form id="f1">
        <af:commandButton text="close" id="cb1" partialSubmit="true">
          <af:clientListener method="doclose" type="action"/>
        </af:commandButton>
        <af:commandButton text="open" id="cb2" partialSubmit="true">
          <af:clientListener method="doopen" type="action"/>
        </af:commandButton>
      </af:form>
    </af:document>
  </f:view>

</jsp:root>The page source below will close the main window (IE) if you press the close button immediately. If you press open then it opens a new window. The following close then will close the opened window (which works on FF and IE).
