Yep understand that it has to be done clientside, no probs...
However i don't actually want the page to appear in any frame.
I have a start page which has a header and main area (frame1 and frame2 say), after i've redirected to another page that will appear in frame2 i would then like to redirect the next page to overwrite the entire window (_top) and show the new page.
Does that make sense?
