137166 - js parent.close closes whole window instead of one tab in tabbed mode

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 103452

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Gracjan Polak]

Reproduce:

1. Open some tabs
2. In one of them open
http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/tryxsl.asp?filename=cdcatalog_choose
3. Click the "Close" button

Happened: whole window closed.
Expected: closed only one tab.

Seems like in tabbed browsing mode if there are frames, then top level frames
have the parent property set to whole window instead of the tab.

Mozilla 0.9.9, Win2K

Reassigning to DOM Level 0, though this is a duplicate of a bug
I will now search for.

This is not a JavaScript Engine issue. JavaScript Engine deals with the
abstract JavaScript programming language. Specifically, the low-level 
objects such as String(), Number(), and Date(). The JS Engine is not itself 
aware of browser or DOM objects like window, document, sockets, etc.

Found the dupe: bug 103452 
"javascript window.close should close tab, not complete browser window"

Let me reassign to Tabbed Browser component for parity -
