closing the dialog from wihtin redirected page in iframe

closing the dialog from wihtin redirected page in iframe

Really am stumped by this one, I'm opening a page contiang a form with the following function :-

$(function() {
        $('a.loadexternal').click(function(e) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var $this = $(this);
            var horizontalPadding = 30;
            var verticalPadding = 30;
            $('<iframe id="externalSite" class="externalSite" src="' + this.href + '" />').dialog({
                title: ($this.attr('title')) ? $this.attr('title') : '',
                autoOpen: true,
                width: 800,
                height: 500,
                modal: true,
                resizable: true,
                autoResize: true,
                    overlay: {
                    opacity: 0.5,
                    background: "black"
                                        }
            }).width(800 - horizontalPadding).height(500 - verticalPadding);          
        });
    });


When the form is complete the iframe is redirected to a page called close php which has a document.ready function which should close the dialog.

Having spent many hours on this I can't produce the function which closes the dialog?

Any help much appreciated?
