I am want to make a button that closes the dashboard

[Preben Østerlid]

I suppose it is relatively simple, but I dont know how.

Any ideas?

Function or Template node?  Javascript or html?

I use 3 nodes to do this trick.

FYI

script in template node​:

<script>

(function(scope) {

    scope.$watch('msg', function(msg) {

        if (msg.payload === 'close') {

            window.close();

        }

    });

})(scope);

</script>

​Along with this topic, doesn't matter to Preben's question, I'd like to raise a small issue.

There I used one 'ui control' node. Odd.

Without this, each time the dashboard ui page does refresh​, the close action will be triggered.

That is, even without press the 'close' button, template node still receives msg.

I checked the details by printing the raw msg, and find out the socketid still bound to previous session.

Here's the corresponding browser console log:

​
Does anyone encountered this?

Thanks,

Librae

Hmm - the sample code does nothing in my setup.

The button shows up, but nothing happens when I push it.
