FP98 - Opening a page in the "Main Frame" from a "pop-up" window
Using the "OnLoad" command in a FP98 enabled site, a "pop-up" window is opened with a series of text hyperlinks - Is it possible, and if so, how, to open the target page of these hyperlinks within the "main" frame of the original framed environment site.
Many Thanks - Chris

Many thanks for the prompt response
The text links would be in the pop-up window, and when the user clicks on on eof these i wanted the target page to open up in the main frame of the site from which the pop-up was initiated - Does this help?

Hi,
Tried the code you suggested but alas I could not get it to function, however it spured me on to try a couple of things and what did work was the following (This is in the Pop-up window)
<head>
<Script Language=javascript type="text/javascript">
<!-- Hide script from old browsers
function updateParent(newURL) {
opener.document.location = newURL
}
// End hiding script from old browsers -->
</Script>
</head>
<Body><a href="javascript:updatePar
I am sure that if I persevere with your orignal code I will be able to get it to work with a single JS call - I am however indebted to you for your interest in assisting me solve my problem - You are a star!
Thanks again

Just so that I understand you...the page you want the links to show up in is framed? What are the frame names and which one do you want the "new" info to appear in?
