The prompt is a security feature of the browser to prevent scripts from annoyingly closing the window. So no you can't and shouldn't get rid of it.
If you open a window, then you may close it without the prompt.. but otherwise the browser will complain.. because you should not be closing, or trying to close a window that you did not open.
window.close() will not work, it will still prompt you. You have to use window.opener=top;window.close();

If you're using Vista/IE7, it will still prompt though. This only works for non Vista/IE7 configurations.
window.close() works without giving a prompt if you open up a new window.

The current window(with your history/ and back button) won't close automatically so you won't lose the previous page you visited. So any window will close automatically without the prompt, if it's not the main window browser.
As said above, the script window.close() will work, but ONLY if the opened window is NOT the INITIAL window (the first one you opened typing the URL).

So, ok for a pop-up or a link opening with "target=_blank".

ie:

%26lt;a href='somepage.htm' target='_blank'%26gt;the link%26lt;/a%26gt;

Then, in "somepage.htm", the script "window.close()" will work.
