An iframe isn’t a window, it can’t be closed. You may hide it using

$(theIFrame).hide();

or remove it if you won’t use it again :

$(theIFrame).remove();

If you want to hide or remove the iframe from a script inside the iframe document, you must get the relevant element first. You can do this :

    var iframe = $(parent.document).find('iframe').filter(function() {
        return this.src==location.href;
    });
    iframe.remove();

If you don’t do this from the iframe, you should have some kind of reference. Or you may do it indiscriminately as

$('iframe').remove();
