Can you point to a live example we can look at?   I vaguely recall  
Safari having some odd security-related handling of window  
management.  You might try replacing window.close() with self.close 
(), or maybe making a reference back to the parent window to close  
from there, e.g. parent.openedWindowObject.close().

Peace,
