Help with window.close() with frames

[cbittakis]

I have a two frame page and need to put a exit button on the left hand side frame. I can not get window.close() to work. I would like it to close down all pages. This works fine without frames. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try top.close() - and be prepared for a prompt if the window involved wasn't opened with JS.

Outstanding reply! Both options worked. Thanks again.

with top.close()
would top have to be the name of the frame?
would this work?
window.close(<framename>)
?:confused:

no to both of those questions.

top is a window object, that refers to the the top level window. so that if you have a page in a frame, then top refers to the frame that has the <FRAMESET> html in it.

using window.close(theframename); would probably cause an error.

is there any other things like
top.close()

like to close a certain frame?
