yes.  if it's opened from javascript then it's simple.  if it wasn't opened
from javascript then it's alittle more difficult.

<tip type="JavaScript" author=".jeff">

have a window that isn't created with javascript that you want to close and
you don't wanna have the user see that annoying dialog?  well, it's as
simple as assigning the current window object to the opener property of the
window.  then you can close it with no dialog.

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
  window.opener = self;
  window.close();
// -->
</script>

</tip>

good luck,

.jeff
