Frames - Redirect

[Guest]

Hi:
I am using frames (3 on a page) with a countdown clock on one frame - at the
countdown, I want to change the ALL frames at once (redirect), but I can only
change the frame with the clock on it. How can I get all three to change
simulatiously or, at least, open a single new page (No Frames) to take the
entire place of the three frame page?
Thanks,

Assuming the countdown is a javascript, when it's done have it fire a function that opens the new
page.

function openpage(){
window.open(http://www.google.com)
}

I think that syntax is right.

Steve:
It is javascript - currently I have a script:

var newlocn= new page,

but it loads only that frame. Where do I put your:

function openpage(){

window.open(http://www.google.com)
}

Are you trying to load a page in a new window without a frame??

Steve, yes. Situation is: I have a page with 3 frames - 1 frame has the
countdown clock - at expiration, I want to direct to a new FUll page - no
frames, but all I can do is direct to a new frame page in the same frame as
the clock is in, therefore, I cannot get to a "default" page in place of the
three frames. I have worked with this so much it makes perfect sense to me
but I hope I have explained it well for you. Thanks for your help. I am
hopelessly beyond my knowledge.

Unless your count down script allows the setting of target value of _top, then you will not be able
to do this.

AFAIK, all you have to do is use the statement (in JS)
top.location href="........"
and this breaks out of the frame
