You could actually use just close(); because any statement you execute is executed under the Window object without you having to specify it. The Window object contains the handy "window" and "self" reference to itself. If that made no sense, forget about it. =)

But you can't close the window the user opened themselves without their permission. (And thank goodness, a site that did that would make me mad.)

self.close()

instead of window.close()

Or use

self.window.window.self.self.self.window.self.window.self.window.close();

since the self object and window object are exactly the same thing, and they're both references to the top level object. You could actually use just

close();

because any statement you execute is executed under the Window object without you having to specify it. The Window object contains the handy "window" and "self" reference to *itself*.

If that made no sense, forget about it. =)
