Google your question and you'll find that the browser tends to want to control this behaviour so some browsers will let you close a window and some won't.

Generally, they won't. Please see Solution 1 and another referenced answer.

If something works in IE, but not in Mozilla or Chrome, IE is doing it wrong.
Why closing the tab? This is the overly intrusive action. Just don't do it. The user know when to close what.
If you create a popup window, it can be closed by window.close().

Please see my comment to the question. For some more background, see also my recent answer: How I Can Close My Current browser Window Using Jquery or Javascript[^].

I do understand that your situation can be different, so we could discuss it. But, generally, window.close() cannot close a current tab; you just cannot close it with JavaScript, and, I think, for some good reasons.

just i close the current tab not using progress bar

Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov 12-Jul-15 23:54pm

How? I told you, it won't close. It is totally unrelated to progress bar.
