Kumar S,

When trying to close an window from javascript in IE, which is opened
manually,
a security warning “The web page you are viewing is trying to close the
window. Do you want to close this window? Yes|No ” is popping up. Is
there any possibility to close a window silently? Yes.
A simple hack i found on the web will help to get rid of this situation.
this.focus();
self.opener = this;
self.close();
