title: Problem closing popup window
body: <p>I'm creating a popup window using <code>window.open</code> that can be closed later by the <code>opener</code> with a call to <code>close()</code> without problem, the problem is when the popup window navigates to a different url, then <code>close()</code> will do nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I'm using IE9.</p>
  
  <p>the code that I'm using to test is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var popup = window.open($(this).attr("href"), "Popup", "width=550,height=300,toolbar=0,scrollbars=0,status=0,resizable=0,location=0,menuBar=0");
  setTimeout(function () {
      popup.close();
  }, 1000);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if the popup window doesn't navigate to another url, it closes, but if it does, it won't close...</p>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
