Explorer bars

[ScottCybak]

Hi,

I've managed to get my own custom explorer bar html page to open documents in the _main portion of the IE window, but, i'd like to display the URL of the page that is loaded in _main on my explorer bar.

.. document.location.href displays the url of the html page in the explorer bar.. and i'm a novice with javascript, so i'm unsure as to how to grab the _main window portion location

TIA! Scott Cybak

There is no code as of yet.. but, so far i have this on the page that i want to appear

<a href=&quot;javascript: fShowLink();&quot;>test</a>

.. and, in a linked js file:

function fShowLink() {
var strUrl = window._main.location.href;
alert(strUrl);
}

i'm at least trying to get it to alert me with the page the _main portion of the current window is on..

Danke! Scott Cybak

Just a bump, i haven't been able to figure this out yet.

i've tried so far:

parent._main.location.href
top._main.location.href
frame['_main'].location.href

all return errors..

anyone care to guess? Scott Cybak

parent._main.location = 'your url'; BobbaFet
