I think the reasoning is that "upbar" is not something that the popup
is called in the DOM rather it is a var that is defined as that
window. So when you go to close it in the non-opening page that upbar
isn't defined thus it doesn't know how or what to close.
Don't really know your solution since browsers get pretty picky on
allowing other windows to close other windows for security reasons.
You might need to rethink what you are doing and use something like a
Modal window or something.
