This is related to question "Bookmarklet behind elements".

I want to either self close the iframe after form submission or if not possible, add a close button with the iframe to close it. my bookmarklet at the moment is 

javascript:(function(){var iFrame=document.createElement('IFRAME');iFrame.src='http://www.yeongbing.com/testform/dd-formmailer/dd-formmailer.php';iFrame.style.cssText='display:block;position:absolute;top:5%;left:60%;width:40%;height:51%;overflow:hidden;';document.body.insertBefore(iFrame,document.body.firstChild);})();

I have tried the methods mentioned here but can't seem to work. Any suggestions?

Here's how you can close the iframe from your "Close Window" button.

First, give your iframe an id by adding "iFrame.id='foo';" to the end of your bookmarklet script:

javascript:(function(){var iFrame=document.createElement('IFRAME');iFrame.src='test2.html';iFrame.style.cssText='display:block;position:absolute;top:5%;left:60%;width:40%;height:51%;overflow:hidden;';document.body.insertBefore(iFrame,document.body.firstChild);iFrame.id='foo';})();

Then, in your iframe's source, change

<input type="button" onclick=window.close() value="Close Window"/>

to

<input type="button" onclick="parent.document.body.removeChild(parent.document.getElementById('foo'));" value="Close Window"/>

  • Thanks for your input. But the button neither work on the page itself nor the iframe. Do you know why onclick=window.close() by itself doesn't work? I thought it should close the window no matter what is within the webpage. – qwertyuu Sep 02 '09 at 01:15
  • I tested my solution and it works. The button is in the iframe page itself, just as you already have on http://www.yeongbing.com/testform/dd-formmailer/dd-formmailer.php. – Emmett Sep 02 '09 at 06:07
  • very weird. I try it in Safari and firefox and it does not work in both of them. I will check to see if i copied it wrongly. Thanks – qwertyuu Sep 02 '09 at 12:44
