Passing vars from frames to new window only half working.

[catfishdesign]

I have managed to get the HREF of the frame "MAIN_FRAME" to my mail1.asp page in a new window OK.
BUT if the contents of frame "MAIN_FRAME" is from outside my site then the HREF variable does not work. :-(
Here is my code....

===============================================================
<script LANGUAGE=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>

function geturl(x) {
var undefined
var test
test = top.frames[&quot;main&quot;].frames[&quot;MAIN_FRAME&quot;];
main = top.frames[&quot;main&quot;].location.href;
if (test==undefined)
{MAIN_FRAME = main;}
else {MAIN_FRAME = top.frames[&quot;main&quot;].frames[&quot;MAIN_FRAME&quot;].location.href;} **** ERROR HERE if out of site page ****
loc = &quot;mail/mail&quot; + x + &quot;.asp?main=&quot; + main + &quot;&frame=&quot; + MAIN_FRAME;
window.open(loc);
}

</script>
===============================================================

Is there an &quot;onerror&quot; event I can use? I have tried &quot;window.onerror&quot; but it still does not work.
Can I do this better in ASP code rather than javascript?

The &quot;out of site&quot; page returns a &quot;Permission Error&quot; / &quot;Anonymous Routine&quot; when I try to assign that variable.

Someone please help me out or point me to the help I need.

I don't think this is possible as it allows any webpage to find out what other websites the clients browser has been to and this is disallowed by the browser

If I can flag the error adn not use the &quot;external&quot; URL and continue to my mail.asp page then that would be fine. ANY IDEAS ANYONE ?
