The return statement causes execution of the function or event handler to terminate. Try this...

PARENT 
<html> 
<head></head> 
<body> 
<input type="button" value="PressMe" onclick="confirms(); return true"> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function confirms(){ 
mainwin = window.open('child.html'); 
} 
</body> 
</html> 
CHILD 
<html> 
<head></head> 
<body> 
<input type="button" value="Yes" onclick="return pressyes()"> 
<input type="button" value="No" onclick="return pressno()"> 
<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="window.close(); return true"> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
function pressno(){ 
window.close(); 
return false; 
} 
function pressyes(){ 
window.close(); 
return true; 
} 
</script> 
</body> 
</html>

HOWEVER, window.close() will close the calling window, and terminate scripting immediately I think.
