How to open a page outside an iframe?

[Nad]

Hello,

When I click on a linkbutton of a datagrid on a web form I open another web
form on the same page within an iframe. The page within the iframe has a
datagrid also and when I click on a linkbutton in that datagrid I redirect to
another webform.

The problem I'm having is that this last webform opens within the iframe but
I want it to open on another page outside the iframe.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

you would have to link page inside iframe to post back to the container
page.
this can be done through using parent property in javascript, but
beaware that if pages are in different domains, this would through a
security warning

Not possible with IFRAME, I am afraid. However, in your primary page you
could use a form, or the location object, and you have to set the target
to _top.

Thanks but I'm afraid I'm new to web development. My html looks like this and
ButtonColumn does not support an onclick event. I don't know how to proceed.

<form ...>
<asp:DataGrid ...>
<Columns>
<asp:BoundColumn ...></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:BoundColumn ...></asp:BoundColumn>
<asp:ButtonColumn Text="View Visit"
CommandName="visit"></asp:ButtonColumn>
</Columns>
</asp:DataGrid>
</form>

Sorry I don't understand. Can you elaborate?
