Solution 1

Execute the below code from single.php which is loaded inside the iframe. This will find the iframe using the parent window as context and remove or hide it.

//You can call hide() if you want to just hide it
$('#iframe', window.parent.document).remove();

Solution 2

I know a little trick actually.

Make a function on your parent page

var closeIFrame = function() {
     $('#iframeid').remove();
}

Inside the iframe you want to close call from anywhere you want

parent.closeIFrame();

Tricky, isn't it?

Solution 3

// Inside the iframe    
frameElement.remove();

I've got a Wordpress site where posts are loaded into an iframe.

This is the code that works:

<a class="trick" rel="<?php the_permalink() ?>" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

$(document).ready(function(){

    $.ajaxSetup({cache:false});
    $(".trick").click(function(){
        var post_link = $(this).attr("rel");
        $("#frame").css("display","block");
        $("#frame").attr("url", post_link);
        $("body").css("overflow","hidden");
    });

  });         </script>

<iframe id="frame" frameborder="no" allowtransparency="true" width="100%" height="100%" scrolling="no" src=""></iframe>

Now, how to close this loaded iframe from inside the iframe?

The main page is index.php (main wordpress loop), the content of the iframe is single.php (single post) without header and footer.

Thanks.

This is what i've got in single.php

<head>

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#close").click(function(){
            $('#frame', window.parent.document).remove();

             });

        });

    </script>


</head> 

<body>
<div id="container-single">
    <button id="close" >Close</button>



    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

        <article <?php post_class('single') ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">

            <h1 class="entry-title"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

            <div class="entry-content">

                <?php the_content(); ?>

                <?php wp_link_pages(array('before' => 'Pages: ', 'next_or_number' => 'number')); ?>

                <?php the_tags( 'Tags: ', ', ', ''); ?>

                <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/_/inc/meta.php' ); ?>

            </div>


        </article>



    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>

    </div>

</body>

If you declare a function like that it doesn't get added to the window object, I believe you have to do this: var closeIFrame = function () { ... }

I've tried this but doesn't work, you can see my single.php content edited in my question...

Just making sure. Is iframe in the same domain?
Luca Frank Guarini about 12 years

Yes, sure. The iframe load a wordpress post.
ShankarSangoli about 12 years

Then it should find the iframe and close it. Can you console.log and see what $('#iframe', window.parent.document) gives?
Luca Frank Guarini about 12 years

Console.log doesn't give nothing.. It's true what have I added in single.php?
