How do you return to previous page in frames

[Guest_imported]

I was just wondering what the code was to go back to previous page when working with frames. I start out on a page with one frame hit a button and go to page with two frames. now i want to go back to the first page but all i can get is that page to show up in one of the frames in the page with the two frames this not what i want.
thanks for any help

Hi,

You can use the javascript history command to go back one page and make sure you direct it to parent top.

Cheers

The Easiest way to back up to a previous page in Frames is to reload the index file either over the current window or in a new window. I have several places in my webpage that have a link back to home for instance (both text and graphics) and I just reload the main Frames Index file in the current window. It works just fine and if you are using relative addressing it is easy to port to the net from local.

Use the "_top" value of the target attribute to break out of the frameset ...

<a href=&quot;previous_page.html&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;>Previous Page</a>
