    Please Help! - window.close() within frame

    Hi, this is probably a very basic question but I'm not a javascript
    expert!
    Sure you get this asked often! Did some research but can't get it
    working.
    I'm thankful for any help!

    Thanks!

    Martin

    On my index page I have a frame like this:

    </HEAD>
    ....
    <FRAME name="main" SRC="login.aspx " APPLICATION="no ">
    ....
    <body>
    ....
    <p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
    </body>

    On the content page (login.aspx) I've a HTML button with a onclick
    event for a javascript like this:

    <script language="javas cript">
    <!--
    // Function Close - Close Browser Window
    function fnclose() {
    parent.opener.c lose();
    }
    //-->
    </script>

    Question is, how do I close the window that actually contains the
    frame, I mean close the whole browser from login.aspx? How do I
    reference the parent window?

      Mick,

      Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, it top.close() doesn't do the trick.
      Any other ideas?

          Something's wrong with your coding then.(URL?)

          Note that you cannot reliably close a window that you did not create.

              top.close();

              Iffy proposition though, unless you spawned the window.
