having trouble with event listener: detect iframe close event fromparent

[Mike Scirocco]

I have an iframe that includes a button:
<input type="button" value="close this window" onclick="window .close();" >

I would like to detect the iframe close event from the parent window, I
was using this code but I did something wrong because the temp function
is fired every time the parent page loads:

function temp(){
alert('the iframe was closed');
}
function setup(){
var myIFrame = document.getEle mentById("ifram e1");
if (myIFrame.addEv entListener) {
myIFrame.addEve ntListener('onc lose', temp(), false);
}else if (myIFrame.attac hEvent) {
myIFrame.attach Event ('onclose',temp );
}else{
myIFrame.onclos e=temp();
}
}
window.onload=s etup;

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

TIA,
Mike

Removing the parens works great in FF, thanks:

myIFrame.conten tWindow.documen t.body.addEvent Listener('click ',temp, false);

Do you have any suggestions about making this work in IE?

Use attachEvent method for IE or just use onclick=temp

Use attachEvent method for IE or just use onclick=temp

This worked great:

myIFrame.conten tWindow.documen t.body.onclick= temp;

Thank You,
