Hi,

Im looking for the right Javascript syntax to get back from a frameset to the previous page with a backbutton in a subframe of that frameset.

To ********:
- I start with a single HTML page with a link
- The link refreshes the pages with a frameset and 2 frames
- The topframe contains a button that brings back the orginal page

Many thanks in advance,

Mark

Add this to your top frame:

<a href="original.htm" target="_top">back</a>

I know but it's a button so I have to use javascript like:

<input class="button" type="button" onClick="location='blabla.php'" value="Terug">

I have to squeeze in the "target" but cannot figure out where.

Okay, what I'm looking for is javascript code to get out of a frameset.

Please let me know if anybody has the code.

Why would you want to use JavaScript when you can do it without?

<form action="http://www.infinitypages.com/banners.html" target="_top">
<p><input type="submit" value="go"></p>
</form>

Ok,
but this frameset is again nested in another frameset so I need

<input class="button" type="button" onClick="parent.location='intranet.php'" target='_top'" value="Terug">

thanks !

target="_top" is top. If you only wanted to go up one set of frames, you'd use target="_parent". target="_top" will use the entire current window, breaking out of frames all together.
