If you sign your javascript, and the user has trusted the signer, it is possible to close the window without noticification.

Informative, but this doesn't work. Opening a window and then trying to close the opener returns a msg
"Close Window yes/no" still.

I'm a Javascript Newbie so excuse me if I'm wrong:

I've found if I open a window from another window using:

window.open("http://www.mysite.com/mypage.htm");

then I can also close it from within the javascript on that window, without confirmation, using:

window.top.close();

example:

On right click on my page http://john.dodrill.name I initially transfer control to a page I open, then change the url of the page I was in to whatever. Then if the user right clicks in the new window I've opened with my content, it closes without asking.

Good Luck!
