you need to get a reference to the new window and then close that.the way u are using its targetting the main window.Use the code below

<script type="text/javascript">
var popupWin;
function fred(URL)
{
window.open(URL,"","height=260,width=380,resizable=0, left=100, top=100" );
}
function mark(URL)
{
if(popupWin!=null && !popupWin.closed){
popupWin.close();
}
}

</script>
