So any use of header("Location=...") automatically does what amounts to a target="_top"? If so, then ignore this entire post, cuz that answers the question. If not, does anyone know how to force a target="_top" when using header("Location=...")?
Why not just create an anchor ID at the top of the page, and then make the header argument point to that? This will work on more browsers than "_top" anyway. Like so: // this is the HTML page you want to point to <!DOCTYPE xhtml PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Test</title> <!-- other head info goes in here --> </head> <body> <a id="topofpage" /> <!-- other content of page goes here --> </body> </html> // and this is your PHP code header('Location: http://www.domain.com/testpage.php#topofpage'); HTH, Erik ---- Erik Price Web Developer Temp Media Lab, H.H.
