Details

javascript:window.close() in a frame created by a diffrent host is not suppose 
to close the windows unless the user agrees.
IE and Netscape do inform the user that the frame is attempting to close the 
window
However, Mozilla behaves exactly like i would like it to, because it someone 
trusts a host enought to include its files in a frame, it should also be allowed 
to do anything to it.  it is not the browsers job, but an agreement betreen the 
two hosts.
please try not to fix this bug.  it is too convenient for me
