Re: Anyone know how this would be done?

You did point out one of my errors...when I said "The PHP version may be similar". The header function won't do all the nifty target stuff. So now, I've learned something. And, BTW, I can generally explain my HTML code. I don't "just know it works". And you're right, groups.google.com is not the only service of google, but it is by far the best resource for finding answers to these kinds of questions. I go there before I go to MS Technet for Windows stuff. But, it's because of people that answer these questions that it is the best. And, I see this as a very relevant PHP question. If you are using PHP and you are trying to do something in the PHP code (header, for example) and PHP won't do it, you must find an alternative. Like I said above, I didn't know PHP couldn't handle this. But, instead of pointing out this simple fact, and saying "PHP can't do that. Try javascript", more bandwidth was wasted with the response, "This is not a PHP question. google > break out of frames". If you are as concerned about the cost of your badwidth, as well as others', ignore the question or give a short, reasonable answer. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leif K-Brooks" <eurleif@buyer-brokerage.com> To: "jpoz" <jpoz@quickscribble.com> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Friday, April 11, 2003 1:52 PM Subject: Re: [PHP] Anyone know how this would be done? > Correct, but bandwidth isn't free.

It's not a 'target="_top" statment', it's setting the "target" property to "_top". It's not an <a href> tag, it's an <a> tag with a "href" property. > > > > What "PHP version"? PHP is server-side, therefor it can't open windows, check screen resolution, print, or use the client's toaster. It can do all of those things server-side (assuming the server has an attached toaster :)), but that would be of limited value except in very specific cases. > > > > John wrote: > > > >I don't understand you guys.
