Parameters
 code 
Optional
 A numeric value indicating the status code explaining why the connection is being closed. If this parameter is not specified, a default value of 1000 (indicating a normal "transaction complete" closure) is assumed. See the list of status codes on the CloseEvent page for permitted values.
 reason 
Optional
 A human-readable string explaining why the connection is closing. This string must be no longer than 123 UTF-8 characters.

Exceptions thrown
 INVALID_ACCESS_ERR
 An invalid code was specified.
 SYNTAX_ERR
 The reason string is too long or contains unpaired surrogates.

    * Transmits data to the server over the WebSocket connection.

Parameters
 data
 A text string to send to the server.

Exceptions thrown
 INVALID_STATE_ERR
 The connection is not currently OPEN.
 SYNTAX_ERR
 The data is a string that has unpaired surrogates.

Remarks
 
Gecko 6.0 note(Firefox 6.0 / Thunderbird 6.0 / SeaMonkey 2.3)

 Gecko's implementation of the send() method differs somewhat from the specification in Gecko 6.0; Gecko returns a boolean indicating whether or not the connection is still open (and, by extension, that the data was successfully queued or transmitted); this is corrected in Gecko 8.0 (Firefox 8.0 / Thunderbird 8.0 / SeaMonkey 2.5)
. In addition, at this time, Gecko does not support ArrayBuffer or Blob
 data types.
