popups from iframe

[kimgokce]

I have a page that is fed into an iframe. The iframe is on a remote site out of my control. The iframe contents I have on my host need to contain a search dialog. I have implemented this using a form with an action="mySearchEngineUrlGoesHere"

Whether I use a "submit" input type, a document.open, or an onMouseClick, or an onUnFocus, etc., I can not seem break out of the iframe to open the search results in a new browser.

If anyone has run into this before or could suggest a workaround approach, I would greatly appreciate it!

For those green ones like me that follow ...

Here's a solution I found elsewhere:

1. Insert a script as follows:

<script language=&quot;javascript&quot;>
function popWin() {
FormResults=window.open(&quot;&quot;,&quot;FormResults&quot;,&quot;&quot;
}
</script>

2. Insert the calling tag on the form (I used an image):

<input type=image src=&quot;whatever.gif&quot; name=&quot;click to search&quot; onclick=&quot;popWin()&quot;>

Works flawlessly in IE 4.x and Netscape 4.x.
