getting back from a frame

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 02.2003

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 clearify:
– 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

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

@mvandek2authorOct 02.2003 — 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.

Please let me know if anybody has the code.

@pyroOct 02.2003 — Why would you want to use JavaScript when you can do it without?

&lt;form action="http://www.infinitypages.com/banners.html" target="_top"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="go"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;

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 !
