No, the page you're closing is the parent, yes? Windows not opened with
JavaScript cannot be closed with JavaScript without this warning. It's part
of the browser security and can only be overridden with advanced security
setup and stuff that I've never used and don't fully understand. If you
really need to go there, Danny Goodman's "JavaScript Bible" could help, but
I'd guess there's a better way.

Just curious, in case there's another solution, what's the purpose of the
small chromeless window with no parent?
