AFAIK you can' for pages opened this way. The browser will issue a warning
to ask the permission to the user (the rule is that a script is not able to
close a window opened by the user without asking for permission, it can
close only windows opened using scripting).

So what should work would be to open those windows uisng window.open that
returns a reference to the opened window (and you'll be able to close using
this reference).

It's perhaps likely better also to try to keep the opened window to a
minimum (youc ould perhaops use tabs or whatever could fit your navigation
need).

Thanks for responding. I am using the <asp:hyperlink ... to open my *.aspx
pages.
Do I have to change the way I open the pages?

AFAIK yes, you'll have to use window.open client side (that is if you want
to get rid of the confirmation dialog).

See :
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/open_0.asp

To close the window you'll use anyway window.close :
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/methods/close_0.asp).

"Invoking the window.close method on a window not opened with script
displays a confirmation dialog box. Using script to close the last running
instance of Microsoft Internet Explorer also opens the confirmation dialog
box. "
