iframes question

Shelly

I have a submit button and in the php code I have

header("Location: thetargetpage.php");

I do the DB work and php and my daughter does the pretty work. She put
my page inside an iframe. So, when the submit button is clicked, it
brings up thetargetpage.php inside the iframe.

What we want is to have the destination page have just the
thetargetpage.php without the rest of the iframe. How can we make that
happen? For straight html href she uses _top as the target. Here,
however, there has to be a lot of processing code before the
redirection with the header call.

Side question: How do I bring up a new page in php, rather than
replacing the existing page?

Don't use frames. See:

http://webdevelopment.developersnetw...sp?Article=120

You can do virtually everything in CSS that you can do in frames.

Otherwise, you can't do it with PHP. PHP runs server side; you need
something which runs client-side, like javascript. Something like this
should work (untested):

<script type="text/javascript">
if (self != top){
if (document.images)
top.location.replace(document.location.href);
else
top.location.href = document.location.href;
}
</script>

Pretty much the same problem, and a similar solution - javascript.
Maybe something like outputting the following in the code...

<body>
....
<script type="text/javascript">
window.open ("newwindow.php");
</script>
....

</body> Shelly

Of course, both of these methods fail if the user has javascript turned
off. It's one of the reasons I don't do either.

The server doesn't really have much discretion over where the contents
will go. That's determined on the client-side.

I don't quite understand your reason for not wanting to post the form
with _top as the target. Having a lot of processing code doesn't
preclude this as an option.

How do you do it? This is not an href. It is a button.

A form has a target just as well. For example this opens a new window and
submits the form there

<form method="post" action="example.php" target="_blank">
<input type="submit" value="click me">
</form>

OK, getting there. Now I want to go to a new page without iframe only
on success. On failure I want to stay there. Do I bracket the
target="_blank" in a php if/else?
