Preventing unloading of a frameset

[bluedalmatian]

I'm trying to prevent a page within a frame removing the frameset by loading a link in _top by using the following code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function onul()
{
top.location.href = location.href;
}
</script>
<frameset rows="0,*" frameborder="no" border="0" framespacing="0" onUnload="onul()">

the function executes but the statement to change the location doesn't have any effect.

what am i doing wrong?

Unless you can come up with a plausible white-hat explanation as to why you wish to do this, I suspect help may not be forthcoming.... It sounds as though you wish to prevent framebreaker scripts working - this suggests that you are framing other people's sites.

For what it's worth, this may be impossible - it certainly should be impossible.

No actually we use a webmail service which insists on kicking the user out of a frameset when they log out and re-directing them to another site. We want to put acces to the service in a frameset to provide a simpler log in interface - something which they allow you to do and provide the code to do it, but we also want to redir3ct people back to OUR site when they log out.

You might be able to do something using the frameset's onunload event. I've never had cause to use this so I'm unsure of its behaviour.
