Specify a target frame with document.location? 2

[fpwr]

Is is possible to specify a target frame when using a relocation script in a page like:

<script>
	document.location = &quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://myURL...&quot;;[/URL]
</script>

<

It would look like the following in a link, however, I need it to automatically load (can't use meta tags---it's part of a decision tree) not be a link that needs to be clicked):

<a href=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://myURL&quot;[/URL] target=&quot;mytarget&quot;></a>

Thanks.

<script>
parent.frameName.location = &quot;

http://myURL...&quot;;

</script>

That works---THANKS, but one followup. There is one circumstance where we'd like it to overide the frames and just load a normal page (session is expired---need to log back in). How do you do that? I tried:

parent._top.location = "[URL unfurl="true"]http://myURL...";[/URL]

but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks again.

top.location.href=&quot;

http://myURL...&quot;

should work.

You can also use window.open('

http://myurl','

targetName') if the reference between the various frames and popup windows gets broken somehow.

window.open('

http://myurl','

_top')
