Close window created by different frame?

[ChrisQuick]

In one frame (frame A) I have a form for running a ASP query with a submit button. The OnSubmit calls a function named opennew and passes a url that displays a "Running Query.." message in a new window while the ASP runs.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function opennew(page) {
messageWin = this.open(page, &quot;messageWindow&quot;, &quot;dependent=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=200,height=100,top=5,left=5&quot;
}
</SCRIPT>

The results of the query is then displayed in another frame (frame B). In the code that ASP returns I've got:

<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
messageWindow.close()
</script>

I keep getting a message stating that messageWindow is not an object.

Any ideas why it doesn't work? [sig][/sig]

Never mind, I fixed it. I changed this:

this.open(page, &quot;messageWindow&quot;, etc..

to:

window.open(page, &quot;messageWindow&quot;, etc..

and in the other frame the code is now:

top.parent.main.framea.messageWin.close();

I have the same problem, not fixed yet.
I tried this solution, and it doesn't work, and either
parent.frameName.windowName.close();
I call from top frame to asp page that is opened instead of the buttom frame, and a new window as a small pop up, which I am trying to close when the asp page finishes loading.
I declared the window name in a script, outside of any function (is it &quot;global&quot; enough?).
Anyone for help?
Thanks, Avivit

Just be sure you are addressing it properly, and keep track of who is opening what!
