Answer 1

Remember the Same origin policy

If your iframe is from another domain you can't have js communication with your site

Answer 2

If your iframe is on the same domain try using parent.fancybox_instance.close() inside the iframe

Answer 3

I use this script to close a Fancybox iframe after submission:

parent.$.fn.fancybox.close();
