Something along the lines of

getURL(“javascript:close()”);

That syntax may be not be correct of course, but the code you really need is \<B\>javascript:close()\</B\>

So it won’t close your window becaus you have multiple frames?

Instead of waiting for a reply, I am going to say to try this…

getURL(“javascript:close()”,\_top)

Probably not right syntax, but in the window location area type \_top, this should target the page containing your frameset and close the whole window.
