RR (17,3,3,2): window.close does not work that way

Take note: in Firefox, if a page that isn't opened by script calls window.close, the call will fail silently. (Actually, it'll post a message to the Error Console, but that's it.) I've thus far from random blog hopping found two Singaporean female bloggers who have said something along the lines of "if you don't like this click here" where the "click here" links to "javascript:window.close()" sans quotes. Admittedly, I don't go to them regularly (except my sister's, which doesn't have this flaw because she's too technically inept), so I'm not exactly very sure about how things are, but they're wrong at any rate.

PS: how did I find her blog? KoL. Want the link? I'm not including it here, ha. You want to see it you can go find it yourself. Also, there was a cbox tagboard, which as we all (should) know, is really irritating because of all the adverts. Not that I care because Adblock Plus works. Also, I just realised that since NoScript stopped working due to a regression in Minefield, the layout weirdness in her blog is certainly not caused by the lack of scripting, indicating use of inferior browsers. I'm going to guess IE 6 or IE 7. (Also, she's in RGS. Make what you will of that.)

PPS: Those two blogs I found were both by students, fwiw. Also, check the post time.

PPPS: If you really care, the message logged to the error console is Warning: Scripts may not close windows that were not opened by script., at least in Firefox 2.0+. [1] Similar for IE. [2]
