If you want the current browser to close from the frame try:

top.close()

Here's something to try:

Copy the following into a page and save it as closeme.htm in the folder where your bottom frame page is.



<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Document Title</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<script language=JavaScript type=text/JavaScript>
<!--
window.opener = top;
setTimeout("self.close()",50)
// -->
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML>



In your bottom frame page copy the following


<form>
<input type="button" value="Close" onclick="parent.location='closeme.htm'">
</form>

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

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()
