Targeting with location
I know this may be basic question, but I am stumped.
I need to load a page that is in a nested frame using the following
statement:
[-
$http_headers_out{'Location'} = $redirectionvar ;
-]
that works fine, but I need to be able to target "_top" or some other
frame. Is there a way? what is the syntax?
Thanks,

With http_headers_out you can only modify headers of the http
protocol, which essentially is a transport protocol and not a
browser remote-control protocol ;-)
Unless I overlooked sth. in the http short reference I don't
think it's possible to do that with http headers. I'm afraid
javascript's window.open() will be the method of choice...
Maybe you can simulate the behaviour using http_headers_out to
call a dummy page, which right in the <body> tag has a
onLoad javascript command, which then does a
window.open("the_url_you_really_want") and history.back() to
restore the old page. But that is definitely very very bad coding
style ;-)
