Hello Sonna...

By design, a web browser is only supposed to allow JavaScript to close a window that was created by JavaScript. So, as coded, your page should not be able to close itself. There are exceptions. Netscape 6 and Opera allow it. And, you can trick Internet Explorer into allowing it by using the trick that appears below (see ADDED BY STEVE in your code).
