[RESOLVED] iFrame problem

**modernthinker** · Jun 26th, 2006, 10:10 AM

Hi,

I want to have a button in my iframe page which when clicked changes the parent page's webpage. If i had a hyperlink in my iframe this would be easily done by:

Code:

<a href="changePage.html" target="_parent">

The button control doesn't have a target property. I guess i will have to do this using javascript. Can anyone help me out on this code.

Thanks.

Use the onclick event for the button to trigger a Js call like so

Code:

</head>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function Call(){
	window.open("http://www.MyWebSite.com/", "_parent");
}
//-->
</script>
<body>
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
  <input type="button" name="Button" value="Button" id="Button1" onclick="JavaScript:Call();" />
</form>
</body>

This code if perfect!

I tweaked it alittle for my webpage, i have:

Code:

   protected void btn_Checkout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       
        //Do some stuff here

        Session["total"] = NewPrice;
       
        string runJavascript = "<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>"; 
        runJavascript += "javascript:window.open('myWebpage.aspx', '_parent');";
        runJavascript += "</script>";

        Page.RegisterStartupScript("openPageInParent", runJavascript);
       
    }

Thanks again!

Kewl...glad I could help

Just so you no you probably don't need:

Code:

javascript:window.open('myWebpage.aspx', '_parent');

As the line :

Code:

window.open('myWebpage.aspx', '_parent');

Should do the same job where as the line before. Also the line before may give a JS error in some browsers, but if you find it works ok then wouldn't worry about it too much, If you also want to make it a bit more browser friendly use:

Code:

protected void btn_Checkout_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
       
        //Do some stuff here

        Session["total"] = NewPrice;
       
        string runJavascript = "<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'>"; 
        runJavascript += "<!--"
        runJavascript += "window.open('myWebpage.aspx', '_parent');";
        runJavascript += "//-->"
        runJavascript += "<" + "/script>";

        Page.RegisterStartupScript("openPageInParent", runJavascript);
       
    }
