parent.document.location.href Nof a function

[00steve]

Hi,
I am using the line:
parent.document.location.href = "newpage.html";
to change the page of the parent from within an Iframe. This works
fine in IE6/7, although not in Firefox. The error console reads:

"parent.document.location.href is not a function"

Does anyone know an alternate / cross browser way of accomplishing
this task?

Thanks

Seems to be working in FF 2.0.0.4. Can you provide a code snippet?

Hi,
Just realised that it was my own mistake. I was using it like
parent.document.location.href('page.html') instead of
parent.document.location.href = 'page.html';

Strangely enough, when I do the latter, it works although the page
location appears in the iframe just before the main page src changes.
Do you happen to know how to avoid this?

thanks
