how can i get a frame to close the whole window??

[estesflyer]

so far, I have this, but it keeps loading the main page inside the frame when i click close. like, i have a main window ok, I also have a search, when the user clicks the search button, a blank window comes up, and code is written to the blank window to give it frames, one frame window, (the bottom one) has a the search page loaded into it, the other one (the top window) has a message that reads: Click here to close this window after you are finished searching.
anyway, when they click on it, for some wierd reason, the main page is loaded into that frame, here is what i have for the link to close the new window from one of its frames.

Click <a href=&quot;&quot; onClick=&quot;self.close();&quot;>here</a> this window when you are finished searching plz.

Try to use

say if you have 2 frames...and you place this button in the top frame..

<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Close Window&quot; onClick=&quot;window.top.close()&quot;>

I don't know if it'll work in Netscape but IE works fine... try it.

Regards,

I have frames and new windows and no problem in both
browsers, but I don't understand what do you need.
Can you send a link of the index?

Dear luciddream:
I decided to be nice today and pay off some debts,
by answering some questions in subjects I'm familiar with.
It clears my conscience,and than I don't feel I'm &quot;using&quot; people for my purposes, but helping too.
But you are here before me.
So I quit now.
Have fun

Checkout this frames page. Window close works, if you turn the switch on the bottom 'edit' frame can update records, and there's a little frame interaction as well.
