FancyBox iframe returns parent.$ as undefined (using WordPress)

Question

I\'m trying to close FancyBox from within the iframe, but parent.$ is always undefined. This is my iframe JavaScript:

Answer 1

None of the suggestions worked for me. I had to work around it using the following code. The latest version may be supporting the parent.jQuery.fancybox.close(); approach, but the older versions do not work with that.

For existing sites with older versions of the plugins/Jquery, try this

function close_window()
{
 $("#fancy_outer",window.parent.document).hide();
 $("#fancy_overlay",window.parent.document).hide();
 //window.top.window.$.fancybox.close(); this also does not work :(
}

you could declare and use the function close_window within the Iframe content.
