I am using this like:
-------
<html><body><script>parent.location.href('page.asp?zip1=1')</script></body></html>
-------

-------
<a href='javascript:onClick=parent.location.href("uploadimages.asp?zip=1");'><B>Reload</B></a>
-------

Why it's not working in Firefoex and Mozilla? in IE works fine...

Any ideas how to have something like this to work in all these browsers?

Thanks.

try this: parent.location='page.asp?zip1=1'

parent.location.href = "uploadimages.asp?zip=1";

href isn't a method, but a property.

Try this...

<a href ="#" onclick="parent.location.href='uploadimages.asp?zip=1'; return false">Reload</a>

1) href is for urls. So-called javascript-urls (beginning javascript:) can mostly be avoided.
2) Use events such as onclick to attach your javascript and always return a result (even if the event doesn't need it).
3) Be certain that you actually need javascript. In this example, you don't. The following will work...

<a href ="uploadimages.asp?zip=1" target="_parent">Reload</a>

Trying to learn the basics of a technical subject (like web development) from the internet is a bad idea - books are the way to go (most books are rubbish but they're much better than nothing).

Thank you!

Usually, the internet is my library...the biggest library...but maybe not the best one, who knows...

Doctors and lawyers use the internet, but would you trust one that relied on it as their only source of information?

And what you do when you need info fast? And don't own books?

So far the Internet served me well and I don't think that only doctors and lawyers use it...I was able to find useful and reliable info here.

The proof is this forum...many webmasters use this as source of information...not the only one, of course.
