Any attempt to close window using window.close() in conjunction with a window 
that is part of, or containing a frameset fails. Even if this window was opened 
by another and the javascript attempts to close the child(containing a 
frameset) from the handle in the parent it will fail.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Place javascript function window.close() or any variation in a frame or 
frameset window. Besure to properly reference the top frame.
2. Call this function with any onclick, button, href, or other page event.

Actual Results:  
1. Window fails to close.
2. Javascript error is generated in the JavaScript Console (close is not a 
function).


Expected Results:  
Window should have executed the function and closed the window.

There is a work around for this bug. Instead of trying to close the window 
directly from the parent frame, first redirect out of the frameset to page that 
contains one line of JavaScript: "window.close()". Window then closes as 
expected.
