    iframes question

    I have a submit button and in the php code I have

    header("Locatio n: thetargetpage.p hp");

    I do the DB work and php and my daughter does the pretty work. She put
    my page inside an iframe. So, when the submit button is clicked, it
    brings up thetargetpage.p hp inside the iframe.

    What we want is to have the destination page have just the
    thetargetpage.p hp without the rest of the iframe. How can we make that
    happen? For straight html href she uses _top as the target. Here,
    however, there has to be a lot of processing code before the
    redirection with the header call.

    Side question: How do I bring up a new page in php, rather than
    replacing the existing page?

      Don't use frames. See:

      http://webdevelopment.developersnetwork.com/Articles.asp?Article=120


      You can do virtually everything in CSS that you can do in frames.

      Otherwise, you can't do it with PHP. PHP runs server side; you need
      something which runs client-side, like javascript. Something like this
      should work (untested):

      <script type="text/javascript">
      if (self != top){
      if (document.image s)
      top.location.re place(document. location.href);
      else
      top.location.hr ef = document.locati on.href;
      }
      </script>

      Pretty much the same problem, and a similar solution - javascript.
      Maybe something like outputting the following in the code...

      <body>
      ....
      <script type="text/javascript">
      window.open ("newwindow.php ");
      </script>
      ....

      </body>[color=blue]

      Of course, both of these methods fail if the user has javascript turned
      off. It's one of the reasons I don't do either.

          The server doesn't really have much discretion over where the contents
          will go. That's determined on the client-side.

          I don't quite understand your reason for not wanting to post the form
          with _top as the target. Having a lot of processing code doesn't
          preclude this as an option.

              How do you do it? This is not an href. It is a button.

                  A form has a target just as well. For example this opens a new window and
                  submits the form there

                  <form method="post" action="example .php" target="_blank" >
                  <input type="submit" value="click me">
                  </form>

                      OK, getting there. Now I want to go to a new page without iframe only
                      on success. On failure I want to stay there. Do I bracket the
                      target="_blank" in a php if/else?
