Hi all,

I have a site with a login box that's set within an iframe on the main page and am trying to figure out how to have the login open into the _top or _parent frame. Normally, this wouldn't be too difficult, but the login page was developed by a different programmer (whom I can't get in touch with at this point).

Here's a dummy page that'll show you how it's set up: (rather than log in, you can just click "register")
http://www.radarrover.com/show.htm

And here is the login page's code:

Code:

<?php
    session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/>
    <title>Scrape Data</title>
<?php
    require_once('FILE1.php');
    require_once('FILE2.php');
    require_once('FILE3.php');

    include('FILE4.php');
    create_table();
?>
</head>

<body onload="init()">

<?php
    $plans = get_plan_list();

    $action = $_REQUEST['act'];
    
    switch($action)
    {
        case 'free_register':
            register_user($_POST);
            set_payment(get_user_id($_POST['user_name']));
            daily_user_for_admin(get_user_id($_POST['user_name']));
    ?>
    <form name="loginform" action="" method="post" target="_blank">
        <div style="width:100%; text-align:center">

        </div>
    </form>
<?php
            break;
    }
?>
</body>

</html>

I tried adding in the target="_top" portions already, changing the targets to _blank, _parent, etc. and nothing works.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I think you cant possebly do this, because an iframe shows an entireley different page inside itself. So it onley show's the page, but there is no conecction.

I found it

the javascript:

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
function outpage()
{
if (window.top!=window.self) 
  {
  window.top.location="domain.com";
  }
}
</script>

what you should put in the link:

HTML Code:

onclick="outpage()"

hope it helps
