header

kef

Hello there wizards!

I am a newbie from Belgium and I am having this irritating problem. I looked through the php manual a thousand times now and I can't find the answer...

Is there a way to renew the header of a frameset?
As parent.location.href would do in JavaScript?

header("Location: http://www.google.com/");
exit;
does not work because it only changes the header of the document itself and not the header from the frameset...

Thank you very much!

<?php
echo "<head>";
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0 [url]http://www.google.com[/url]">;
echo "</head>
?>

I may be wrong but is framesets not really Clent Side stuff ? so you may have to use JavaScript or something anyway. I supose it depends on how you implement it.

I am afraid you may be right... I think it is client side. Unfortunately that would be bad for security... There for I hoped I (or rather you guys) could find a solution for me by sending some sort of strange header or so.

I still think you could use <meta> tags

meta tags are indeed magic tags but unfortunately you can not change the parent-frame's source.

And the problem with java script is that people can disable it and it is not secure... But then again I am afraid it is the only option.

Thank you very much though.

I'm guessing that you need an action inside a frame set to change the parent? If so I think the only non java way to do that would be to have that action takeover the window and draw a new frameset, then you could have the new header information in the parent that you want.

Well indeed kind sir,
But how exactly can that be done?
