How to close the current extension tab?

Question

I'm trying to close the Options page of the extension. I have a Cancel button and I'm using this code:

chrome.tabs.getCurrent(null, function(tab) {   chrome.tabs.remove(tab.id, function() {}); }); 

When I'm trying to use it, it always gives this error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'getCurrent' of undefined 

What's wrong with the code?

Answer 1

It works for me with one little fix:

chrome.tabs.getCurrent(function(tab) {     chrome.tabs.remove(tab.id, function() { }); }); 

Just make sure you're really running this code in options page of your extension and not just some HTML page, because chrome.tabs API is available only for extensions.
