Need simple javascript help

[bangman]

Ok, I have a page that is split into two frames.
I want to have a link in the top frame, that when clicked, will close itself and leave only the bottom frame.
How can I do this?

target="_top" ?

[bangman]

target="_top" ?

Well, I want the user to stay in the same page, I don't want a new window to pop up.

self.close?

[bangman]

self.close?

Tried that.
The format would be "<a href="javascript:self.close">link</a>" right?

Or something like an onclick="window.close();" maybe.. that might throw up a warning though.
If it does, you could fool it by putting onClick="window.opener=self; window.close();"

a href... target="_top"> just tells the browser to open the link in the outer-most frame of the current window -- basically it opens the link in the entire window eliminating all frames that currently reside in the window (not a new window, that would be target="_blank").

But I could be misunderstanding what you're talking about, too.

you must reload bottom frame

suppose bottom frame name is "lisa"

just use something like this <a href="java_script:top.location.href=lisa.location. href;">click me</a>

just remove _

sorry i'm too drunk to write it easier

or just do it like this guy above me said
