Or, if you want the page to stay open for, say 10 minutes, use:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
    function CloseWindow()
    {
        window.opener = self; // If the window has no opener, this prevents
confirmation dialogue
        window.close();
    }
    // the interval is in millseconds. I broke it down in the following
line:
    window.setTimeOut("CloseWindow()", 10 * 60 * 1000);
// --></script>
