IE7 and parent.location not working?

[camer38]

Hi,



In a script used by svg, I have a like like the following to go to a new web page:

Code: Select all




parent.location.href = newUrl;





This works fine in IE6. However, it has no effect in ie7 (not even a error message, or security message) It just does nothing.

I have noised when i do:

Code: Select all


alert(loc + "?" + entityName);
parent.parent.location = loc + "?" + entityName; alert(parent.parent.location.href);



values displayed by alert are not the same!!! parent.parent.location was not overwritten.



(I tried window.location=, window.assign(newUrl), parent.location.href, parent.location= .... none of it works, and I don't get an error message)

Project uses Frames.



Is this expected behavior in ie7? Is this a security thing? Where is there information on this?



Thanks,

MR

I was able to work around the problem by having a script in my page that was called from svg.

You can call a script function that resides on the page from a svg script.

I just put a function like

Code:
gotoUrl(u) { parent.location.href = u; }
on the main page and called this from SVG.

Thank you very much for your suggestion , it puts me on a right tracks.

But it is a workaround, I still do not understand the couse of the problem.
