My extend of Javascript is at the cut and past level, so here I go :

<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2">

</SCRIPT>
<title>Herc.zapto.org</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Notepad ;-D">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
</head>
<frameset rows="70,*" FRAMEBORDER="no" BORDER=0>
<frame src="top.html" name="top" id="top" frameborder="0" scrolling="No" noresize marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bordercolor="#000000" target="menu">
<frameset cols="170,*" FRAMEBORDER="no" BORDER=0>
<frame src="menu.html" name="menu" id="menu" frameborder=0 scrolling="No" noresize bordercolor="#000000" target="main">
<frame src="main.html" name="main" id="main" frameborder=0 scrolling="Auto" bordercolor="#000000" target="_self">
</frameset>
<noframes>
<body onLoad="enleverframes();">
<p>This web pages uses frames. You browser cannot display them correctly.
Please upgrade your browser</p>
<p>Cette page utilise des cadres, mais votre navigateur ne les prend pas en
charge.</p>

</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

I would like this index.html page, which contains 3 frames, to load at the top level. Because Spaceports has a link to my site and they leave a footer containing adds, I would like this page to check to see if it is in a frame, and if it is, to load at the "_top" level...

This pages loads ok, but does not remove the frame ! The script is a cut and paste from a magazine and it looks like it makes sense, but I'm not sure where I'm supposed to put the code and the onload command is in the <BODY> part which, I think, won't be loaded unless the browser doesn't support frames.

Thanks

Place this into the <head> of your page:

<meta http-equiv="window-target" content="_top">

hmm...
I tried testing starway's solution, and for me, it didn't seem to work.

So, I'll post the code that I tested working.

Code:

<base target=&quot;_top&quot;>

in the <head> will make all links by default target _top.

Here's to break out of frames when the page loads:

Code:

<script type=&quot;text/javascript>
<!--
if (top.location.href != location.href)
 top.location.href=location.href;
// -->
</script>

Put it in the <head>

Well, after testing for 2 hours(!), the META tag didn't work and the Script works ... BUT

It doesn't work when I call the page with:
header("Location:

http://www.bla.com/noframes.html");

in a php sctipt... I get a Permission denied and gives me the line number where the if (top.location.href starts. I'll ask the php forum why...

It works perfectly otherwise. That's why I couldn't figure out why it worked in a test page with a normal <a> tag and then not work from the real link <? php checking stuff and then header... for redirect ?>

So in Javascript, I would like to test the cookie value of choice which contains the web link to a page, and then redirect the browser to that page, _top as target.

Thanks starway & Uniment...
