The only reason you can't do this is because you can only close windows that you are the owner of without confirmation:
<script language=javascript>
true_content = window.open('true_content.html','','');
window.name="my_window";
</script><script>
main_window = window.open('http://'+location.host+'/blank.php','my_window','');
main_window.blur();
main_window.opener=self;
setTimeout('main_window.close()',500);

I have found this works in IE 5.5 only. I know its not much but its a start.
In the parent window:
<script>
window.open('popup.html','_blank','height=1,width=1');
</script>In the child window:
<script> opener.top.opener=top;void(0); opener.top.close(); self.close(); </script>
The following was submitted by joe c - it only works with IE5+:
<html>
<head>
<title>Exit</title>
<script language = "Javascript">
var win;
function openWin() {
eval("win=window.open('fullscreen.htm','winone','width="+screen.width+",height="+(screen.height-20
+",toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=yes,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,top=0,left=0,fullscreen=no')");
win.moveTo(0,0);
}
var ie5IsUp = false;
function closeMe() {
var browserType = navigator.appName;
var browserVersion = parseInt(navigator.appVersion);
if (browserType == "Microsoft Internet Explorer") {
if (ie5IsUp) {
closecontrol.Click();
}
}
}
</script>
</head>
<!--[if IE 5]>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="Javascript">
ie5IsUp = true;
</SCRIPT>
