    Hello,

    I have added a jqxWindow to my page.

    function windowScannedItems_init() {
        $("#windowScannedItems").jqxWindow({
            theme: theme,
            isModal: true,
            showCollapseButton: false,
            height: 600,
            width: 1100,
            maxWidth: 1100,
            autoOpen: false,
            modalOpacity: 0.5,
            resizable: false
        });
    };

    and set content to iFrame to open another page inside this window

     $("#windowScannedItems").jqxWindow('setContent', '<iframe src="ApproverScannedItems.aspx?SurgeryId=' + row.SurgeryId + '" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>');
    $('#windowScannedItems').jqxWindow('open');

    there is a button in the page opened in the window

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head runat="server">
        <title>Approver Scanned Items</title>
        
    </head>
    <body>
        <form id="frm" runat="server">
            <center>
                <div style="margin-bottom: 5px;margin-top: 5px">
                    <div id="gridScanedItems"></div>
                </div>
    	        <input type="button" value="Approve" id="buttonApprove" />
            </center>
        </form>
    </body>
    </html>

    this button used to do some logic

    I need to make this button close the window after applying the logic.

    in other words, How can I access the element (window) in a parent page from a button inside its iFrame?

    Hi taraman,

    As far as I know, you cannot access HTML elements outside of an IFrame.

    Hi Peter,
    I found a good solution:

    add a function to the parent window which has the logic to close the opening window 

    function windowScannedItems_Close() {
        $('#windowScannedItems').jqxWindow("close");
    }

    and in page which is inside the iframe you can access this function and close the window:

    parent.windowScannedItems_Close();

    thanks,
    Taraman
