.. and possible also in Opera, Safari etc.

The problem: 

   1: parent.window.close();

that working well in IE8 but not working in Firefox and Chrome. Some state that for security reasons.

Solution (lol):

   1: top.window.close();

 

A little more details:

I have a page that opens popup using showModalDialog(….) function.

Inside popup i have a frameset(old project) with two frames. One of them have button which onclick="parent.window.close()" not working in FF but onclick="top.window.close()" successfully closes popup.

 

If You american citizen do something with SOPA because it can be "ZHOPA".

Good Luck!
