META tags

[BanzaiRun]

Hi everyone,

Is it posible to supply a 'target' in an:-

<META http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=../index.html">

statement?

I'm presently using:-

<FORM method="POST" action="../index.html" target="_top">
<P align="center"><INPUT type="submit" value="Return to homepage" name="B1">

But I would rather have it autoforwarded.

I am using nested frames which I would like the request returned out of, once an HttpSession object is timed out and/or 'invalidated'.

Thanks,

Matt.

Try it and see if it works. I know I use the ...htm#sub1 process to go to a specific place on a page and think I did use the TARGET=_top successfully in the past to break out of frames or a redirected "framed" URL. In other words, the META redirection pseudo anchor tag may work just like any other anchor tag.

Well, I've tried every possible tag and string combination within the META tag and I cant get it to work.

Looks like I'll have to stick with the static forwarding.

Thanks anyway.

What about putting some Javascript in the file that you're forwarding to which will detect if the page is being displayed in a frame and if so, then break out of the frame?

That sounds like a good idea Enigma.

I'll have a little surf and see what I can find.

Thanks.

Yep,

Thanks Enigma.
