How to get to the First parent location?

16 New Member
I want to get to the parent location each time I'm adding a record. the problem is that i have a nested iframes, and each time the number of those is incremented:

eg.
at first adding record i have the location like this: parent.location
second: parent.parent.l ocation
third: parent.parent.p arent.location

how could i get to the initial location, without adding each time "parent."

Wherever you have multiple levels of parents, use top to get to the top-level parent.

Hello, I got a little problem. Seems very simple: * I want to open a popup window * Popup-window uses data from its father window. BUT a parent.window does NOT point to the real parents window. Alerting parent.window.location.href shows me, I'm at the wrong window location.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
