I open a popup window with javascript:window.open(). That action loads a frames page in the popup. From within that frame I want to close the popup with window.close(). All the 'hacks' I found such as: window.opener = self;window.close() do not work. How do I accomplish this ? Grrr!

A good place to ask questions and advice about web development is at the MozillaZine Web Development/Standards Evangelism forum. The helpers at that forum are more knowledgeable about web development issues. You need to register at the MozillaZine forum site in order to post at that forum.
