Most browser do allow this but some will prompt with a warning message stating that a script is trying to close the current window.
You can supress the warning programmatically for IE but I don't have the script at hand at this moment.
Should you need it just post to the list and I'll submit it tomorrow.

That _javascript_ would not work. You cannot close the main window even in normal HTML as far as I know.
Try doing a trace ... I am sure the function is being called, but it will not work. The browsers by default will not allow you to do this.
This is a security feature AFAIK.
Try:
<html>
<body>
<a href="" <_javascript_:self.close();> >Close this window</a>
</body>
</html>

I've also noticed that replacing the "getURL" line with a function

I now have

And closeWin() looks like this:
public function closeWin() {
mx.controls.Alert.show("closeWin");
getURL("_javascript_:self.close();" <_javascript_:self.close();> );
}
The "closeWin" popup is never fired. Any ideas? Is anyone else
successfully closing a window via a shortcut key combination?
