What is an alternative for Response.Redirect

Dear ASPians,

Plz suggest me the way in which i can use Respose.Redirect in the web site which uses frames.

If there is any method, plz tell me the way of sending querystring using that method, like

Response.Redirect "Login.asp?error="&error

Thanking you!

with regards,
Shan

Hi there,

I take it you are trying to redirect form a sub frame to the parent frame, right??
If that's the case, you'll need to send some JavaScript to the browser to do the redirect, like this:

Code:

Response.Write("<scr" & "ipt language=""JavaScript"" type=""text/javascript"">" & vbCrLf
Response.Write(vbTab & "top.location.href='" & YourRedirectPage & "';" & vbCrLf
Response.Write("</scr" & "ipt>")

I split up the <script> tags to make sure that your ASP page doesn't get confused by an ending (server side) script tag.

This code sends the required JavaScript to the browser, telling it to load the page YourRedirectPage in the top frame.

Alternatively, you can make login.asp redirect itself to the .top. Personally, I prefer the first option however.

Instead of top.location.href try also parent.location.href. The later worked for me as I wanted.
