This is a security thing in JavaScript. JavaScript is not allowed to 
close a window unless JavaScript was the one that opened the window in 
the first place (via something like, "javascript: 
top.window.open('mypopup.html');". You wouldn't want JS to be able to 
indiscriminately close your browser on you.

It seems sensible that you'd be able to close IE via watir (not using 
JavaScript), since that's how you opened it in the first place. But I 
don't know anything about watir.
