Hi, I have an iFrame that does some background processing. When this processing is complete I would like to re-direct the user to another page, but the header change code is only affecting the embedded iFrame. Is there a way to target the main window?

A:
Use JavaScript to track content of frame, if content change, redirect browser :)

how do I go about checking if the iFrame has changed? I thought onchange wouldn't work unless it's a form

Heare You have reference on how to retrieve content of frame, You can do an loop to check every peroid of time, if something has changed http://roneiv.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/get-the-content-of-an-iframe-in-javascript-crossbrowser-solution-for-both-ie-and-firefox/

I have seen the deprecated Meta redirect have a target attribute, but I don't know how widely it is supported.
In Javascript:
top.location.href = "resultpage.htm";
Works only if the top frame is on the same domain as the emitting page.
For a solution that works across domains and without Javascript, the following would work:
<a href="resultpage.htm" target="_top">Continue</a>
