javascript to close frame

[mreks]

hi -

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to close one frame in a frameset (one frame will have a link to close itself). And this has to work if the frames are loading files from different servers/domains.

have tried this, and some variations, from a frame called nav with frame named content:


<A HREF="#" onclick="top.location.href=top.content.location.href;return false">close this frame<A>


but it only works when both frames are laoding files from the same server...

i am stumped.

There is no such thing as "closing" a frame.

If you want to make a frame go away, then you need to reload a new frameset url into the parent frame.

Use something like this:

<A HREF="frameset.html" target="_parent">close this frame<A>
