Default Check for Parent Window

Wondering if someone can help out with some javascript.

I need to run a check on the page for a parent window.

1) If a parent window exists, then the submit button needs to close the current window.

2) If a parent window does not exist, then the submit button needs to redirect to another page.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Jae

OK:

function parentExists()
{
 return (parent.location == window.location)? false : true;
}
if(parentExists())document.forms.your_form.action = 'window.close()';
else document.forms.your_form.action = 'otherpage.php';

HTH,

Snib
