I need to close a frames page but if i use “javascript:self.close()” it will close the individual part of the frames and not the entire browser.

any suggestions,

I answered in your other thread rainblade. Please don’t post exact threads in different sections. This is called spamming. Just in case you check this one first I said to try this…

getURL(“javascript:close()”,\_top);

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