Actually, you CAN do this without needing to change security settings.
Just change the window opener's reference to TOP and then you can close
it.
<script>
window.open('popup.html','popWin','width=300,height=300');
window.opener=top;
window.close();
</script>
This doesn't work on IE5 or Netscape 4.7x but it works on all other
IE/NS variations.
I saw this link earlier today while looking for some ActionScript
reference.

Subject: Javascript Signed Scripting Re: window.close question?
Mozilla has a write up on signed javascripting:

There's an old (Netscape 4.0) article here:
