Input javascript variable into hyperlink column

Hi all,
I think this is much simpler than I am making it out to be. I have a aspx page consisting of 2 frames and one of the frames includes the following aspx code:

Code:

       <asp:TemplateColumn headertext="Fig & Index Number">

Code:

                 <itemtemplate>
                   <asp:hyperlink runat="server" text='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Ind") %>' navigateurl='<%# "Figure44.aspx" & TotalURL & DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Ind") %>' id="Hyperlink3" target="_parent" name="Hyperlink3" /> 
                 </itemtemplate>
                 </asp:TemplateColumn>

Where it displays "Figure44.aspx", I want that to be the parent frame. I would rather not use a session variable due to the amount of pages I have. I was thinking of using parent.location.href but I'm not absolutely sure how to pass it. Any insight would be much appreciated. TIA

Figured it out. I had to use an <a href tag within my Datagrid and call a javascript method to open the window. Here is the layout is anyone else gets caught:

Code:

<asp:Templatecolumn headertext = "Fig & Index Number">
                  <itemtemplate>
                      <a href="javascript:geturl('<%= TotalURL %>', <%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Ind")%>)"><%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Ind") %></a>
                  </itemtemplate>
                 </asp:Templatecolumn>

Thanks to all who read this.
