JavaScript
1

hi…
Okay… here is my problem… I am making a site on asp these days… the problem is that i need to redirect from an inner frame to the parent window…
i have tried this through asp but since my knowledge of that is very limited… i can’t get it to work…

Please advise…

can you post the frames.html you have? basically, you can target any frame if you have identified it in your frame html wrapper.

– sample (cut and paste it from my site).
<frameset rows=“70,,60" border=“0” frameborder=“0”
frameborder=“no” framespacing=“0”>
<frame name=“banner” scrolling=“no”
noresize target=“main” src=“header.htm”>
<frameset cols="150,”>
<frame name=“contents” target=“main” src=“nav.htm”>
<frame name=“main” src=“Body.htm”>
</frameset>
<frameset cols=“150,*”>
<frame name=“bottomNav” target=“main” src=“bottomnav.htm” scrolling=“no” noresize>
<frame name=“bottmMain” src=“bottomMain.htm” scrolling=“no”>
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body>
– end sample

now the name is important so that when you try to redirect a link like “<a href=“goto.asp” target=“main”>” this would redirect the page using the Main frame of the site.

hope this helps.

I am not quite sure of the implications of trying to get a server side language to redirect the parent page from within a frame - but needless to say it’s not possilble.
The Actions of the parent and the children are controlled by the dom, which is clientside - and only possibly controlled by direct actions / Scripting - or in an extreme case remote or pseudo remote scripting. In the case of the later it’s a request->response scenario anyway.

However if you want to use javascript to redirect the parent from a child frame - then you’d use top.window.href - i think … if you want to check this is right - alert it before trying it - and make sure the url is that of the top window (probably index.html)

Hope this helps.
If you want more info - specify more… :slight_smile:

i found a solution for the problem… thanks everyone.

<html>
<head>
<script>
function func()
{
parent.location=“http://myurl.com”
}
</script>
<body onLoad=“func()”>
</body>
</html>

thank you all

good - except you don’t need it in a funciton, and you don’t need to call it.

just a page saying:
<script…>
parent.location=…
</script>

would do it …
