Sure, go to:
http://www.louiscarre.fr/artistes/olivier-debre
Clic the thumbnails in the middle of the page, it'll open another
window. If you are on Safari you'll be able to close the window using
the black button when it's first opened. If you browse to next or
previous image, this button will not work anymore.

Doesn't self.close() close the window after a certain amount of time ?
Can I use it as a regular window.close routine and simply replace it
then with self.close (),
