Frameset and setTimeout

The following code worked perfectly when I was using a normal window, but now that I have changed it to a frameset, it does not work. I have been reading as much as I can find on the subject and I realize that there are a different set of rules with "parent" etc. Please advise.



<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">

        <!--

        // reset timer

        var timer = window.setTimeout('closeWindow()',1800000);

        

        function resetTimer()

        {

        window.opener.resetTimer();

        window.clearTimeout(timer);

        timer = window.setTimeout('closeWindow()',1800000);

        }

        

        function closeWindow()

        {

        window.close();

        }

        //-->

</SCRIPT>



<BODY onFocus="resetTimer()">

Re: Frameset and setTimeout

Use top.your_frame_name or window.frames['your_frame_name'] to get the frame reference.(here top is the global window object).

Read this for more information about DOM.

Re: Frameset and setTimeout

Here is my problem and it may be that you are talking over my head. I want to close the frameset window. It is not a frame.

Do you know what you are saying? Frames are defined in the frameset tag and without frame tags, frameset is of no use. So how is that "its not a frame"?

Paste the working example and maybe then it would be easier for us to render help.
