Cheap & dirty trick:

Code: 
function close_win_without_prompt() 
{	window.opener = top;
    window.close();
}

They all work the same way.
Code: 
<script>
function close_win_without_prompt() 
{    window.opener = top;
    window.close();
}
</script>
<a href="#" onclick="opener=self;self.close()">close</a>
<a href="#" onclick="opener=self;window.close();">close1</a>
<a href="#" onclick="close_win_without_prompt();">close2</a>
although
Code: 
<body onload="opener=self;self.close()">
gives you no choice the window never opens.
There's always more than one way to skin a cat or close a window.

another for absurdity:

Code: 
<a href="#" onclick="window.top.window.top.window.top.window.opener = self; window.top.window.top.window.top.window.top.close();">

note that none of these will work in NS/Moz, as this hack is a bug exploit in IE

hello,
I'm a french programmer so sorry for the language faults.
function close_win_without_prompt()
{ window.opener = top;
window.close();
}
This code is OK for me and for some of my collegue but for others it doesn't work. I've seen the different versions of IE but they are the same so maybe it exits an option in IE which allows the function window.opener or not.

Please help.

For the record:

I almost got kicked off of experts-exchange for providing a user with this solution. They consider it a "hack" rather than a means of streamlining an application.

They consider it dangerous and malicious code. If they do, it's likely that somewhere, someone else does. So watch where / how you use it.

And stay away from EE. It's a dictatorship.
