What's the best way to break out of frames for a .jsp page? I thought about using the following but it does not work for my case. Thanks,

onLoad="if(parent.frames.length!=0)top.location='pagename.html';"

It depends on where you are putting the onLoad event handler. Is that going in the frameset pages or one of the frames pages ?? Also, there's a slight syntax problem with your if() method, but I would encourage you to execute if() conditions within functions instead of directly in the event handler. More on that later. Where is the onLoad event handler placed??

I'm sorry. What I meant was in which <body> tag ? The one in the frameset page, or the one in one of the frames pages ??

Sorry, I didn't read it closely enough.

What I'm trying to do is if I send my webpage link to a MS Hotmail account. When the user click on the link, it will break out of the Hotmail frame. So I take it that it's a frameset page?

Just write these few lines in between your <head></head> tags and see if this works. No need for the onLoad event handler so get rid of that..
Code: 
<head>
<script Language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
<!--
if(top != self) {
  top.location = location
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
If you have a problem with that, change the top references to parent starting with the top.location to parent.location.

<SCRIPT><!--
if (top.location!=this.location) {top.location=this.location}
//--></SCRIPT>
