Is there a way to get window.close() to work on a frameset. For example I want to have a link in one of the frames of a frameset that will close the entire page.

TIA

Try putting the window name, so window.windowName.close();

If that doesn't work, than this will. With the link that will close the window, instead of making it go to window.close(); make it go to a different page with the target as _top. On this new page put <body onload="self.close();"> and it should work.

From inside one of the pages contained in the frameset, use:

window.top.close();

BTW, if you did not open the window using JavaScript, you will get a prompt about attempting to close the window. There is nothing you can do about it. It's a security thing.

This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
