you can't close a browser window with scripting that you didn't 
open (usually via scripting)...  if you try, it should either prompt you 
that 'an application is trying to close this window,' which looks bad, 
or it could do nothing...

some of the JS folks here can offer ways to handle it that are more 
graceful, but i'd suggest that it might be a bad idea...

is this a public web site?  an internal app?  what?
