What window? The parent or child? Oh...you've got it...nebbermind.

so as soon as the window opens... it closes itself?
Why would you want that?

By the way, this isn't a clever idea. Closing windows confuses people. Confusion is anti-usable.

In fact, Microsoft agrees with me. When you use window.close() with IE, a confirmation prompt pops up asking if you really want to do that.

It's like if, when you open a book, it just closes in your face, quite funny, not quite usable

Actually it's pretty obvious that what he's really wanting to do is to close the page if someone right-clicks on it in another lame attempt to protect web page content.

So keeping with the book analogy, if you put it in a photocopier, it selfdestructs. Nice.
