Hi,

I have an html page with frames. I'm using IE7 (it's an intranet). I'm using the onUnLoad event to close the current page and open a new page when the user clicks the back arrow. Here's the current iteration of my code:

<code>
<BODY onUnLoad="loadSummary()">

<script language="JavaScript">

function loadSummary() {
window.close("DetailMain.html");
window.open("SummaryMain.html");
}

</script>

...
</code>

It does open up the new page but keeps the old page in a window behind it.

At this time it is not possible to go to a non-frame framework ... that will be done in the near future.

How I solve this using the current structure?

Thanks,

- Bruce

FYI, I tried some other variations but can not seem to post them as I am getting an error.

Have you tried [tt]window.open(...)[/tt] before [tt]window.close();[/tt]? You'd need to open a new window before closing the window that's trying to open it.

The window I'm closing, DetailMain.html, is the active window.

Do I need to do something different in that case?

Thanks,

Code: 
function loadSummary() {
    window.open("SummaryMain.html");

}
