Change frame on button click

[Erics44]

Hi
I have a question

using the code

<a href="page1.asp" target="top">GoTo Page1</a>

How do I make this on click of a button rather than a hyperlink? can i use

<a href="page1.asp" target="_top"><Button Text="Click Here"></button></a>

?

Thanks for your time

Hi
Thanks a lot for your reply

I get an error saying that the top is not a member of my form.

I am clicking a button the "side" frame and I want it to appear in the "top" frame.

Thanks again

try changing:
top.location.href

to:
parent.frames['top'].location.href


note:
top is a reserved JS keyword, i would advise to use some other name...

still doesnt like it, says it doesnt recognise "frames"

I have changed the frame name to MainFrame in all places

I am able to do it using

<input type="button" onclick="changePage('PageName.aspx');">

changePage function is

function changePage(mainURL)
{
parent.Frames['MainFrame'].location.href = mainURL;
}

but I cannot manage to get it to work isung the asp:button no matter what I try

Thanks again for your help
