You can close your windows, but not mine. Certainly not without asking
me. And let's keep it that way :)

It's not your window unless you opened it. Closing the main window of
the browser also loses its history. That is why you are not allowed
to close it, even though it is currently showing your page.

No, you can't. If the user asks, through settings in their browser,
to be warned if a script tries to close a window you, as an author,
have no right to over-ride that decision.
I think what Mr Wassenhove* tried to say was a lot of users do not
wish to be 'violated' in that way, and nothing should be done to
change current browser behaviour.
You'll just have to live with the warning.

Correction: it has nothing to do with browser preferences (though
some might use them). It is part of the behaviour of the
window.close() method.

If it's not a window it cannot be closed :-)

If you see the question it's NOT a window,
it's the browser itself. (maybe you came in from a search engine)
Then it's a page that was intended to be opened as a window
with window.open or _blank etc.

Even that is starting to change too. I reported a bug on this issue for
Opera 7. Scripts might not have the rights to close windows, even those
created by javascript. It's generally perceived as rude, excessive
powers over the browser. Idem est: the user wants to position or resize
an enlarged image in a requested popup but a script detects a mouse
clicks and then closes the window: quite stupid IMO.
Mozilla will have (or already has) an user pref by which you can disable
windowRef.close () calls.
Firebird 1.0 will have it as an UI pref:
+ <checkbox id="allowCloseW indow"
label="&allowCl oseWindow.label ;"
prefstring="dom .allow_scripts_ to_close_window s"/>
user_pref("dom. allow_scripts_t o_close_windows ", false);
