Closing An App Script Sidebar Containing A Form

I have a Google Apps Script running a html-form in the sidebar. The form-answers are used to generate documents. My problem is that I want to close the sidebar when the program has

Solution 1:

The onclick() attribute can have multiple functions in it. You can put the google.script.host.close() statement after all the code. Just make sure to put a semi-colon at the end of all the google.script.run stuff:

<input type="button" value="Submit" 
  onclick="google.script.run.withFailureHandler(fail)
  .doStuff(this.parentNode); google.script.host.close();"/>

Your packing a lot of code into the onclick() attribute. You could have a separate function:

onclick="serverCall();"

window.serverCall = function() {
  google.script.run
    .withFailureHandler(fail)
    .doStuff(this.parentNode);

  google.script.host.close();
};
