Please Help! - window.close() within frame

Martin

Hi, this is probably a very basic question but I'm not a javascript
expert!
Sure you get this asked often! Did some research but can't get it
working.
I'm thankful for any help!

Thanks!

Martin

On my index page I have a frame like this:

</HEAD>
....
<FRAME name="main" SRC="login.aspx" APPLICATION="no">
....
<body>
....
<p>This page uses frames, but your browser doesn't support them.</p>
</body>

On the content page (login.aspx) I've a HTML button with a onclick
event for a javascript like this:

<script language="javascript">

</script>

Question is, how do I close the window that actually contains the
frame, I mean close the whole browser from login.aspx? How do I
reference the parent window?

Mick,

Thanks for your help! Unfortunately, it top.close() doesn't do the trick.
Any other ideas?

Iffy proposition though, unless you spawned the window.

Something's wrong with your coding then.(URL?)

Note that you cannot reliably close a window that you did not create.
