[Javascript] Re: Windows

The script to close a window is window.close() or self.close()

But this will only work immediately on windows that were opened by javascript.

The user's default window can only be closed after an OK/Cancel dialog is displayed -
which the browser arranges for you. You do not have to script it and nor can you prevent
it from appearing.

You might try resizing the window, and putting a message in it to explain. Or just create
a blank coloured screen.
