<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
On my html page I have a link like this:<br />
<br />
&lt;a href=&quot;javascript:window.cl<wbr />ose()&quot;&gt;clo<wbr />se&lt;/a&gt;<br />
<br />
If I click on it I want it to close the browser window.<br />
<br />
The above code works on Chrome, IE 11 and IE Edge but does not work with Firefox.<br />
<br />
What's the proper syntax so it works on all 4 of these browsers?<br />
<br />
Or would if be better to use jquery?
