Are you testing this from the pop-up opening from another page or just by opening that page direct? Normally the 'warning' message only comes up if the page isn't a pop-up.

As Julia said, you can only control windows you generate in this fashion (i.e. by using window.open to create it). If you try to close it any other way, it will prompt the user, as it should.

IE lets you cheat, you can close a window you don't have control of simply by renaming it "self" EX:
<script>
opener = self;
self.close();
</script>
