Redirecting with frames 2

rtgordon · Sep 6, 2001

In my app, I verify the user has a cookie, and then I response.redirect to a login page if that fails. The login page loads in the current frame, though. I would like it to load as target=top. I didn't have any luck using that with response.redirect, so, I am assuming that it don't work. I tried to response.redirect to a page with this code

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
function goHome() {
parent.top.location.href="default2.asp";
}
</head>
<body onload="goHome()">
</body>
</html>

but it don't work

Any suggestions... I know this one has to be easy, but I haven't had any luck searching.

Thanks!

Try using the frames properties

Javascript:

top.frames['frameset'].frames['bottom'].location="newpage.asp"

example 'frameset' is the host page with two frames 'top' and 'bottom'

this should change the 'bottom' frame

this is the subroutine I use for a redirect that breaks out of forms

Code:

sub SafeRedirect(url)
Response.Buffer = true
Response.Flush 
Response.Write &quot;<html><head>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;<script language=&quot;&quot;javascript&quot;&quot;>top.location.replace('&quot; & URL & &quot;');</script>&quot;
Response.Write &quot;</head><body></body></html>&quot;
Response.End 
end sub
