I do not see anything wrong in any of the pages, the new pages open as
new tabs in IE7 (that's how I have configured them), and the javascript
closes the tab.
Try opening the pages in a named window -
<a href="newpage.htm" target="windowname">newpage</a>
Then, in the newpage.htm, use the script
<script type="text/javascript">
if ((window.name == "windowname") {
document.write("<a href='javascript
:window.close()'>Close this
window</a>");
}
</script>
This will write out the close window link if the page has been opened
from your link, but not if opened by any other means.
