I have an iFrame that does some background processing. When this processing is complete I would like to re-direct the user to another page, but the header change code is only affecting the embedded iFrame. Is there a way to target the main window?

    I have seen the deprecated Meta redirect have a target attribute, but I don’t know how widely it is supported.

    In Javascript:

    top.location.href = "resultpage.htm";

    Works only if the top frame is on the same domain as the emitting page.

    For a solution that works across domains and without Javascript, the following would work:

    <a href="resultpage.htm" target="_top">Continue</a>
