Frames and Response.Redirect

[12thMan]

How do i redirect the entire parent frame from an iframe using Response.Redirect. Currently when I call this from the frame it redirects just the containing frame.

you cannot do with response.redirect...you need to use javascript...

Ok thanks. So the best way is to do

 Response.Write("<script>parent.location.href=('MyUrl.URI')</script>");

??

-- shawn

something like this:

  Dim url As String = "your URL"
  Response.Write("<script>" & vbCrLf)
  Response.Write("top.location.replace('" & url & "');" & vbCrLf)
  Response.Write("</script>")

You shouldn't use Response.Write to write out any javascript to the Page as this is very bad practice and will almost certainly cause your page to fail validation. Instead, use the RegisterStartUpScript or RegisterClientScriptBlock methods or write it out to a Literal control.
