Then have the button you click set a parameter. The fn1 function would
check that parameter and either close or not close the window.

<button onclick="closeWindow=false;someFunction()">My Button</button>

function fn1(){
if (closeWindow){window.close()}else{
closeWindow = true;
}
}

I will leave it to you to figure out why the closeWindow=true is in the
fn1 function.

Thanks, I understood why you have given closewindow=true. I am
developing dotnet web page. there i have used this technique. When I
click IE "X" button. it fires well. But When I click any button. It
fires Page_OnUnload event automatically. That's my issue.

OK.

Totally irrelevant.

Which technique?

The unload event?

Then there is code somewhere calling that function.
