Response.redirect and multiple targets 1

i have a home page that is a frameset composed of two frames. the bottom frame is an asp page that includes the ability to login. if the login is successful, i want to use response.redirect to replace the current frameset with a new frameset. if the login is not successful, i want the asp login page to reload in the current frame with an appropriate message.

my problem is that there are two potential targets for the next page and i don't know how to specify a different target. i can use the html <base target=&quot;_self&quot;>, but then if the login is successful, the new frameset gets loaded within the current frameset. likewise, i can use the html <base target=&quot;_top&quot;>, but then if the login is not successful, the login page gets loaded on top of the existing frameset.

the simple solution would be if i could specify the target using response.redirect, but my understanding is that asp's response.redirect doesn't have that capability. any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

thanks,

glenn

Try this:

If the login is successful then reload the login page with a message of your choice. Add a sub to the body onload event:

<body onload=&quot;doLoad()&quot; .....>

If the login was sucessful, then populate the doload sub with the frame page loading script you would need ie:

sub doLoad()
<%if logginPassed then%>
window.parent.frames(&quot;main_frame&quot;).location.href= &quot;default.asp&quot;
<end if%>
end sub

Load each frame as you like. You can access and manipulate everything in another frame from any frame.

Hope that helps. Jonathan Galpin
