Q316 How can I close the window from within a frame?

The following does not work:

<FORM METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Close this Window" onClick="window.close();">
</FORM>

Whereas the following does:

<FORM METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Close this Window" onClick="top.close();">
</FORM>
