    Also this solution does not work !! I think this is the final answer: "You can only close a window with JavaScript that you opened with JavaScript. If your visitor opened the window then you can't close it." Check this: http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153088

      Actually, there is a workround. Try this:

      window.opener = top;
      window.close();

            After executing the statement, did you see the JavaScript console for any error messages?

              It is actually a browser-cheat-trick. You cheat the browser by making it think that its window is your-own. As a new browser security patches come up, it is most likely that our workaround might cease to function.

                    True. I like the 'Javascript Console' very much. Even Venkman's Debugger is nice. Have you used it?

                      Without it, the javascript coding is more complex than building nuclear weapons.

                        I know - I do like it a lot. I was being ironic here.
