I have an iframe I put on a page using a bookmarklet, I want this iframe to close itself when I navigate to a certain page inside this iframe.
How to do that using JavaScript?
Note: iframe and container page are in different domains.

As far as I know you cannot remove the element from the DOM from the iframe's container unless it's the same domain if I'm understanding you properly due to cross-domain security policies.
If this were possible you could infiltrate bank sites and all, it'd be a mess.

Doesn't the bookmarklet execute script code on the document directly instead of creating iframes? Meaning it's not subject to cross-domain policy issues.

Can you paste where it's creating frames? Are you sure it's not just setting the `src` of a `script` element?

How are you sure it's an iframe? Are you inspecting it? If so provide a screenshot of said iframe code which it creates?

MM, the bookmarklet doesnt seem to do that for me. Do you have to have an account in order for it to do that?

UPDATE: I found that this solution is not working on IE, and i failed to find a solution for that :(
