frame manipulations (changing, escaping)

hi, i want to use the submit button to get out of a frame, how do i do this?

<input type="submit" onclick="newWindowFunction()">

does it go something like that ? i dontknow the correct function name or syntax. i would appreciate any help on this topic. thanks

Thanks in advance.

JavaScript is _NOT_ reliable, so don't use it too often. Try something like this:

<form target="_new">
<input type="submit">
</form>

Thanks for the solution...

Does this fill the current window or does it open up a new window.

Also, why is javascript unreliable?

By default(without specifying "target"), it will be current frame. <form target="_new"> or target="_blank" will be a new window.

>>why is javascript unreliable?
Many linux users tend to disable javascript due to browser crash or somethin..

In addition, since "target" can be inserted within <form>, it's somehow redundant to use javascript to perform such task. So it would be better to pick the best alternative.

where can i find more information regarding the "target" property?

thanks a lot freebsd

freeBSD's solution is without doubt the best solution to your problem !

In saying that.... to say that "JavaScript is _NOT_ reliable" is plain daft!~ Surfers are not reliable - true - JavaScript is reliable day in day out assuming the surfer can afford a FREE browser.

Simon -(yep I know that IE & NS standards adherence is a lot unreliable - but linux browsers???? - please!!)
