Funny, adding the window-features property did the trick....window-
features="menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes, width=700,height=450"
anyone know why this would happen?
Perhaps to keep malicious websites from closing windows that don't
"belong" to them, Safari doesn't let scripts close "ordinary" browser
windows opened without any special configuration parameters, but
considers windows opened with feature specifications to be special
windows that "belong" to the app and that the script is entitled to
close. This would extend further the protection offered by other
browsers that won't honor window.close() on a browser that was opened by
the user instead of by script.
