I think you need to get all open tabs in an array and then try to close it.

Actually, if multiple CRM tabs are opened in a machine and we close any one of them , then all should close automatically .Is this possible in CRM.

This doesn't really seem like a CRM question.

Also, JavaScript can't arbitrarily close browser tabs. This is a security feature you don't want to override. Furthermore, you don't control the close button of the browsers themselves, so closing other tabs from the event of closing a browser tab is well beyond your control, especially when different browsers have different tab implementations. OnUnload does something like that, but it can't tell the difference between a tab closure, a page refresh, or other session changes. You would certainly get unexpected behavior if you tried to hijack it to close tabs.

It can, however, close the current tab and all tabs you have a handle for (essentially all parent tabs of your tab). But good luck getting all browsers to behave the same way when you use a window.close() event. And it won't work from someone directly closing the tab itself.

Instead of closing all tabs close the whole window.

There is an event called tabstatechange which can be used here. Refer: community.dynamics.com/.../tab-state-change-event-crm-javascript
