Question

The following codes displays the alert, but does not take me to the requested page.

function redirect() {
    alert('runs');
    parent.main.document.location = "url.php";
}

I’m using frames, I want the page to load into the frame named ‘main’. Thanks for any help.

Answer 1

Use this instead:

function redirect() {
    alert('runs');
    window.location = "url.php";
}

And for frames you can use it like this:

top.frames["main"].location.href="url.php";

Hope this helps.
