Frameset and setTimeout

Expand Post »

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.

JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
 
<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()">
<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.
