Opening link in parent window

Farooq Karim

Greetings;

I am unable to solve this problem; I hope someone will come up to show
his brilliance.
From my web page I open another link in another browser window. That
new window is composed of two frames. I have a <a
href="....."> link on the second frame of that window. What I want is
that when user clicks on the link in the new window's second frame,
the response should open in the original browser window that opened
this secondary window(which is made of two frames). How can I do it?I
hope i have explained my problem.

I tried to used window.opened.l ocation.href but it didnt work because
I have frames in my secondary window...

Thanks

You can do it a couple of ways. As Martin suggested, you can use named
windows. That is probably the preferred method.

If you opened the second window with window.open(), you can use [top.opener]
as a reference to the original window. In this case, [top] refers to the
window that contains the frameset, and that window has an [opener] property
containing a reference to the original:

top.opener.loca tion.replace("m yNewURL.asp")

Glup glup glup ...

- 1st window : frame11 - frame12 - frame13
- 2nd window : frame21 - frame22

- window2-frame22 : link to window1-frame13

<a href="page007.h tm" target="_blank"
onclick="opener .frame13.locati on=this.href;
return false;
">Page 007</a>
I tried to used window.opened.l ocation.href
* window.opener.M yFrame.location .href *
^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^
but it didnt work because
I have frames in my secondary window...

Not only ... *opened* is not correct

*opener* works only if it refers to a window in which
a page have a the JS *window.open()* that opened the
new window that use this *opener*

glup glup glup ... :-)

I just used

top.opener.loca tion.href = link

it worked perfectly.

how to get pop-up to link (and then close) to NON PARENT window???

by: DROdio | last post by:

I have a parent window that calls a popup, but via a semi convoluted process where it seems to lose its parent designation. I want that pop up to have a link which will a) close the pop up and b) redirect this "semi" parent window to another URL. I could name the semi-parent window something, if that would help. All the ideas I've seen online have to do with calling back to parent windows, but they don't work for me.

Opening image in new window without padding

by: D. Alvarado | last post by:

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
