I’d like to provide a button on my child page that would close the child page from the child page itself. To make matters worse, I didn’t write the child page – it is written using frames. So far I’ve tried this code in the child page:

Window.opener.location= '/parent page.html';
Window.close();

And, in the body:

<a href="JavaScript:if(confirm('close window?')) window.close()">close</a>

HELP!

    As the link you inserted is inside an iframe, use window.top.close() instead of window.close(). window.top will refer to child window you created.

    HTML for your hyperlink will be

    <a href="javascript: if(confirm('close window')) {window.top.opener.location ='/auctioneer notes 8_22_12.html';window.top.close();}">close window</a>
