unwanted dialog w/self.close()

[Jeffm]

I am trying to close a window with self.close() and receive the dialog:

The web page you are viewing is trying to close the window.
Do you want to close the window?

This only happens the first time I attempt to close a window. The history
has been checked with alert(window.history.length) and returns 1. I am using
IE4.

This is a security feature which does not allow you to close a window through
script unless it was opened through script.
