Can javascript close a browser window, without a hyperlink?

Hi folks, I am trying to close a popup window after the code executes within the popup, is that possible?

What is the goal to open a popup if you're going to close it ?

Why don't you use Ajax (or a hidden iframe) ?!

whatever your diabolical reasons may be....here is a method i used a while ago

var howLong = 20000;
t = null;
function closeMe(){
	t = setTimeout("self.close()",howLong);
}


<body onLoad="closeMe();>

modifiy the 'howLong' to what ever amount of time you need to accomplish your cunning code...
