Question

Site Wide Error Handling works for Hidden iframe?

I have implemented Site Wide Error Handling within my application. It is working great except that if there is an error within a hidden iframe, the Error Page is not visable to the end user. How can I bring up the Error page to the Parent so that the Error page can be seen by the end user?

Does anyone has a solution for this?

Thanks

How about

place this in the <head> tags on your error page
<script>
function makeParent(){
if(window.location <> parent.window.location){
window.parent.location = this.parent.location;
}
}

add this to your body tag
<body onLoad="makeParent();">

Hope this helps

Pretty close. I finally got this to work.

here is the code:

function makeParent(){
if (top!=self.parent)
top.location[1]=self.parent.location;
}

and put the makeParent() function call in the onload event of the Error Page
