JavaScript doesn't maintain a list of windows.

Aside from the social repercussions of closing a user's browser
windows, is there some reason you need to do this so draconically? I
think the whole idea of having separate browser windows is so that
they can be independently opened and closed. Of course, if they're
windows you've opened yourself from your app then you should be able
to maintain an array and close them at the appropriate time.

Otherwise, short of closing the browser and relaunching your url, I
think you're out of luck on this.
