I believe you can only close a window, not a docked panel. The script doesn't create the panel, it's given it by AE (which is what you pass in with 'this') so it makes sense that it wouldn't have control over closing it. If you run the script from File > Scripts > Run Script File then it's created as a window and it does close.

I've created my script, for the first time when it is run, it will show a login form with an OK and Cancel button. If the user chooses to hit the Cancel button, I want to close both the login form and the main script panel. That's why I want to close it.
