Need to close all new window opened by my application

I have tried to close the new window by Window.close() this works for current tab close but I need to close all the new tabs opened by my application
var newwindow=null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myPagename)
{
params = 'width='+screen.width;
params += ', height='+screen.height;
params += ', top=0, left=0';
params +=', scrollbars=yes,menubar=yes,toolbar=yes';
newwindow=window.open(mypage,myPagename, params);
if (window.focus)
{
newwindow.focus()
}
return false;
}
Shall we close the new window by having their name , if yes means how ???

You can assign window.open() to a variable and then addEventListener to the window variable. Something like this:
var testWindow = window.open("enter/your/url");
testWindow.addEventListener('loadstart', yourListenerFunction);
Now when you want to close the window, you need to do this:
testWindow.removeEventListener('loadstart', yourListenerFunction);
testWindow.close();
removeEventListener() method removes the event listener previously registered with addEventListener().

open window and run function on that window

I'd like to open a new window, this window has a list of objects, and these objects should be filtered based on a selection from the previous window. I figured I can filter the list through a function, but how do I run said function?
This is what I am able to do:
var popup = window.open('pageURL');
$(popup.document).ready(function() {
// this is where function should be
popup.alert('HelloWorld');
});
But how do I change the alert to a function?
If I have a function on my other app , function test() { alert('HelloWorld'};
How do I run this function from my first app?
Swapping popup.alert('HelloWorld'); with popup.test(); did not work.

You need the reference to the window opened to call functions in the new window, like:
var oNewWindow = window.open("new.window.url", "mywindow");
oNewWindow.onload = function(){oNewWindow.window.newWindowFunction();};

I ended up with this solution
var popup = window.open('http://s234-0057/actiontracker/SiteAssets/Avvik/html/app.aspx');
var readyStateCheckInterval = setInterval(function() {
if (popup.document.readyState === "complete") {
clearInterval(readyStateCheckInterval);
popup.test();
}
}, 50);
Where I check if the popup window is ready, and when it is, cancel check and run function. Solution is from top answer on this question, by #this.lau_

You can write it like this:
function myFunction(){
alert('HelloWorld');
}
var popup = window.open('pageURL');
$(popup.document).ready(function() {
popup.eval(myFunction + "");
popup.myFunction();
});
myFunction in file that contains this code will run in page with pageURL address.

Pop Up Blocker in Chrome and IE

Below is the piece of code I am using to open a link in a new window say "abc".
If the user again clicks on the same link, it should close and reopen the link in the same window "abc".
window.openOrFocus = function(url, "abc") {
if (!window.popups) {
window.popups = {};}
if (window.popups["abc"]){
var v=window.open("", "abc");
v.close();}
window.popups["abc"] = window.open(url, "abc");
}
But Now, say I click on the link, it opens the URL in a new window named "abc".
Now I go and close the window "abc". and go back and again click on the link.
That time it shows up the pop up blocker.
I am confused as to why this pop up blocker is coming when the I go and manually close the window and try to reopen by clicking on the link.
Happens both in IE as well as Chrome

Probably because you're calling window.open with a blank URL or repeatedly in that case.
You don't need your window.open("", "abc") call; instead, just use the window reference you already have:
window.openOrFocus = function(url, windowName) {
if (!window.popups) {
window.popups = {};
}
if (window.popups[windowName]){
window.popups[windowName].close();
}
window.popups[windowName] = window.open(url, windowName);
};
I would also listen for the unload event so you can remove your reference:
window.openOrFocus = function(url, windowName) {
if (!window.popups) {
window.popups = {};
}
if (window.popups[windowName]){
window.popups[windowName].close();
}
window.popups[windowName] = window.open(url, windowName);
window.popups[windowName].onunload = function() {
delete window.popups[windowName];
};
};
Side note: This is a syntax error:
window.openOrFocus = function(url, "abc") {
// --------------------------------^
I've replaced it with windowName in the code above.

How to open a link in new tab using javascript/jQuery

I want to open a url in new tab.
I am using following code to open url in new tab.
var url = "/Billing/DownloadEDIForMultipleClaim?month=" + month + "&BillRequestIds=" + billRequestIds.join(',') + "&PatientIDs=" + patientIds.join(',');
window.open(url, '_blank'); //exception here
But this is not working for me it through an exception Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'open' of undefined
I also used following.
var url = "/Billing/DownloadEDIForMultipleClaim?month=" + month + "&BillRequestIds=" + billRequestIds.join(',') + "&PatientIDs=" + patientIds.join(',');
var win = window.open(url, '_blank');
if(win) {
//Browser has allowed it to be opened
win.focus();
} else {
//Broswer has blocked it
alert('Please allow popups for this site');
}
I already seen related questions.

But this is not working for me.

This may be of use:
http://jsfiddle.net/vraCM/12/
it seems that this code snippet contains what you need for this to work.
$(function() {
$("a[href^='http']:not([href*='jsfiddle.net'])").each(function() {
$(this).click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
window.open(this.href, '_blank');
}).addClass('externalLink');
});
});
The js fiddle contains code that can be manipulated to fit your parameters regarding pop-ups within an alert or new window etc.

javascript open parent window

The following is in the NewForm.aspx which gets executed from a parent page (surveys/lists/testsurvey/allitems.aspx). The javascript works and open google. However, it opens the google in the pop up window (newform.aspx) but i need to close the popup window and show google.com on the parent window (or whatever the parent window link is)
<script type="text/javascript">
function redirect()
{
var inputcCtrls = document.getElementsByTagName("input");
for(m=0; m<inputcCtrls.length; m++)
{
if(inputcCtrls[m].type == 'button' && inputcCtrls[m].value == 'Finish')
{
var funcOnClick = inputcCtrls[m].onclick;
inputcCtrls[m].onclick = function () { window.location = "http://www.google.com/" }; }
}
}
redirect();
</script>

Use the opener property to find the window that opened the current window:
window.opener.location = "http://www.google.com/";
window.close();
