i am using the latest fancybox (2.0.4) and i created a fancybox for an iframe. the content is displayed correctly. i add a "close" button to my html which is displyed within the iframe. i wish that the close button will have the same result as clicking the "x" on the right top corner of the fancybox. i am familiar with FancyBox iframe returns parent.$ as undefined (using WordPress), and my parent is a DOM object with nothing in it. also tried

window.parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();
window.parent.jQuery.fn.fancybox.close();
parent.jQuery.fn.fancybox.close();
parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();

any help?

UPDATE:

a.js (linked to the a.html)

$(document).ready(function() {
    $(".fancybox").fancybox({
        maxWidth    : 800,
        maxHeight   : 600,
        fitToView   : false,
        width       : '70%',
        height      : '70%',
        autoSize    : false,
        closeClick  : false,
        type        : 'iframe',
        openEffect  : 'none',
        closeEffect : 'none',
        afterClose  : function() { 
            window.location.reload();
        }
    });
});

a.html

<a class="fancybox fancybox.iframe" id="newLink" href="new.html">link</a>

Your manual close button should look like:

<a href="javascript:parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();"><img src="myCloseButton.png" alt="close fancybox" /></a>

UPDATE: you should use the onsubmit on the <form> tag, not on the button image so in your "new.html" set something like

<form id="login_form" action="process.php" onsubmit="javascript:parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();">

UPDATE #2: see working demo page

UPDATE #3: I have decided to remove all my additional comments to this answer since the discussion became too long and took us nowhere. I let the code and a link to a working demonstration if this can help somebody else though.

    try{
        parent.jQuery.fancybox.close();
    }catch(err){
        parent.$('#fancybox-overlay').hide();
        parent.$('#fancybox-wrap').hide();
    }

!!!Not Support onClose!!!

Try this in your Javascript:

$.fancybox.close();
