How to close an iframe?
dom, iframe, javascript
Solution
Create a blank.htm file on your site. Have the IFrame SRC set to the blank.htm, then remove the IFRAME.
Problem
After opening an iframe, I sometimes need to close it. Thus far, I just remove the iframe from its parent node, thus cutting it off from the DOM. However, I'm finding that this doesn't immediately end the iframe's life, and its javascript code can still call back into the parent window, which no longer expects these callbacks. How can I kill an iframe dead? I don't see a close or destroy method on it.
