to close a frameset, top.close()
but if you just want to load a new html without frames from a frameset page, no need to close it, just:
top.location.href='new.htm'

Hi

I tried using top.location.href='....' but it still does not work when the function is called. The website that I'm designing is at http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~usateden/panacea/frameset Is the function in the wrong place, maybe it should be in <body>.

The arrow, saying 'Back to Palette' calls up the navart() function, but nothing happens. In IE, and error message is generated. Any more suggestions to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm determined to solve it.

<script language="javascript">

function navart() {
top.location.href='http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~usateden/panacea/entry.htm';
}

</script>
</head>

<body background="bg.GIF" bgproperties="fixed">
<div align="right">

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" width="90%">
<tr>
<td width="100%"><p align="left"><a href="javascript:navart()"><img src="backarrow.gif"

bye
Allyson

winlineau's suggestion will also work.
But it's weird that your existing solution doesn't work. It should work. The error says, 'Object expected' but the function navart() is existing and I see no typo error. Can you insert an alert() inside the navart() function to see if it's executed before the error appears?

Hi

Thank-you. I tried alert() and discovered that navart() was not functioning. I don't know why.

But target='_top' worked well, and does exactly what I wanted. So, thankyou

bye
