Q1299 Why does Internet Explorer not close the window with this button?

Affects: 5.x

close is a reserved word, rename the form

<form name="close"> 
<input type="button" value="Close" onClick="window.close()"> 
</form> 

should be:

<form name="closeIt"> 
<input type="button" value="Close" onClick="window.close()"> 
</form>
