You can't totally close the page without the user to have access on it but you can do it with JavaScript and the browser will ask the user if he wants to close the web page.
function closePage(time)
{
window.setTimout("closeIt()",time);
}
function closeIt()
{
window.close();
}

Then to initiate the function you just use the body onload attribute or window.onload method on the closePage function.

It's very important that the user isn't asked if he would like to close it.

Where do you want the Browser to go to after the page closes? You could use a meta tag to do something for you.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://jlhaslip.com/somefile.html">The number is the time, in seconds, until the page should be redirected. Then, separated by a semi-colon ( ";" )is the URL that should be loaded.

here it is for anyone else that needs it

<Script language=""javaScript"">
window.opener=self;
window.close();
window.open('test.htm','Test','fullscreen');
</script>

What does that do which isn't done with a meta refresh?
