[thelist] close window js

[Richard Bennett]

"window" is the current window object, "self" refers to the current window
object, so they are the same thing, there could be a difference if you
wanted to close a window you had previously opened, then you would refer to
the handle you had assigned to that window, "myWindow.close()" for instance.
There's a good article on the mainpage concerning  "return false".

Cheers,
Richard Bennett
