Heres how-CFLOCATION and Target="_top"

came across this problem had a page in an inline frame that had to cflocate to another page problem was the new page didnt fit in the iframe so i had to add the target="_top" so that the page being cflocated to replaced the entire page.

THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE with CFLOCATION

heres how you do it.



If you want to just relocate without the target erase top and use location.replace

the person who uses this will probably do so in like 3 years when he runs a search here. oh well

ColdFusion = Server
JavaScript = Client

In other words, <cflocation> in no way equals window.location!

The target attribute is in reference to the client's browser and cannot be manipulated in any way by a server-side language. People take CF's versatility for granted too often, I think.

Exactly. CFLOCATION executes an HTTP redirect. The server has no idea what "_top" is on the client's machine, it simply executes another HTTP request.

umm *cough* bocmaxima dont want to make you feel crunchy but did you not read that i wrote "THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE with CFLOCATION" hence you should take the next logical step of utilizing brain power to see that i offer a javascript as a workaround to cflocation not being able to target since Yes it is server and Yes javascript is client. Gosh a little reading goes a long way

PS. et tu kiteless? had to jump me too.
