The problem might be the code.
Here try this.
<html>
<body>
<script>
var newWindow = window.open();
newWindow.document.write("<form><input type=\"button\"
onClick=\"javascript:window.close();\" value=\"hello\"></form>");
</script>
</body>
</html>
It does what you want and it works on Netscape and IE just fine. Perhpas the
problem was just self.close() instead of window.close()?
