Dialog box appears when closing a window in IE 7 but not in IE 5 a   

I need to hide the navigation toolbar and the URL address bar when a user 
access the web site. In order to achieve this I included the following 
JScript in my index.html:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
<script language="JavaScript">
function loadMainWindow()
{
   var win = window.self;
   win.opener = window.self;
   var newloc = "http://www.yahoo.com";
   var ih = (window.window.screen.availHeight - 60) - 100;
   var iw = (window.window.screen.availWidth - 10) - 100;
   var it = ((window.window.screen.availHeight - 60) - ih) / 2;
   var il = ((window.window.screen.availWidth - 10) - iw) / 2;
   var features = 
"directories=no,menubar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,status=yes,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes" 
+ ",width=" + iw + ",height=" + ih + ",top=" + it + ",left=" + il + "";
   v1 = new Date();
   v2 = Date.parse(v1);
   v3 = "pg" + v2;
   var oNewWindow = window.open(newloc, v3, features);
   oNewWindow.focus();
   win.close();
}
 
function window.onload()
{
   try
   {
      loadMainWindow();
   }
   catch(e)
   {
      popUpMessage.style.display = 'block';
   }
}
</script>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This script works fine on IE-5 and IE-6, but on IE-7 it shows a dialog 
message. How can I find a solution for this.

IE 7 closes the longstanding opener assignment loophole above...

Tip: Do a find for window.opener on the page below.

Do not start your impression by "hidding" anything
from the user.

Most users nowadays, don't go to outhouses anymore,
when they need to pee.

They will sit right "there" when it loaded and happened.
