Close frameset from popup

[Mr J]

A popup window is opened from a page in a frameset.

How can the frameset be closed from a link in the popup window

If you were not using framesets and popups, you would not have this problem ;)

There are many things in life that we should, or should not do, but answers still have to be sought

that's what I call mental mastrubation: you create a problem and then solve it just to please yourself. :D :D :D

[Mr J]

But the question remains.

Can it be done

:D

Try:

parent.opener.close();

I have done a bit of experimenting since my last reply and find the following scripts work.

Close frameset from within a frame

In the frame closing the frameset.

<script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript>
<!--
function close_all(){
parent.opener = top
parent.close()
}
// -- >
</script>

Use an event to call close_all()

Close frameset from a popup

In the popup page.

<script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript>
<!--
function close_frameset(){
opener.parent.opener = top
opener.parent.close()
}

window.onerror=sh
function sh(){
return true
}

onload=close_frameset
// -- >
</script>
