Hi All,



I'm new to ASP, but getting far in the short term.  I've been troubled by

frames.  When the user logs into the application (I use session vars instead

of cookies) the application establishes a 3 section (side menu, top banner,

and main body) frameset.



The problem is when the user times out (I want this intentionally for

security) or logs out of the application the frame set stays put.  I want to

clear the frames.  So for example:



A user login in.  Then goes to lunch.  Comes back to continue but has timed

out.  The application is set up if a user is timed out that they are

automatically redirected to the login screen.  Problem:  The login screen

does not use frames.  Solution:  Clear the frame at the start of a login

page.  But How?



Thanks in advance,

Bernie

this can only be done from client side.  In your login page do something

like this:



<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">

if(window.top.location.href!=window.location.href){

	window.top.navigate(window.location.href);

}

</SCRIPT>

Frames are a client-side thing created by using HTML <frame> tags. The

server-side ASP knows nothing about the frames you have created on the

client-side.



What you could do is use some client-side code on the login page to "bust"

out of the frameset if the page is contained within a frameset:



<script type="text/javascript">

    <!-- //hide from older browsers

    if (self != top) top.location = self.location

    // end hiding -->

</script>



Cheers

Ken
