How to open new page in frame without being framed by old page frame
JavaScript, Web development
Our site uses a frame for navigation (not my design), and one of site owners wants to redirect users to a new page on the site if they bookmarked the old page URL, giving them a message page first that says the old page has gone away and to bookmark the new one. Message page then closes after 5 seconds and new page opens.When I try this using self.setTimeout, the new page opens with navigation frame inside the navigation frame for the old page, which will not do.
How do I make the old page navigation frame close and open the new page with its own navigation frame?
Here is the code I'm using:
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<!-- Set timeOut to the time to wait before redirecting -->
<!-- Set newSite to the page you want to be redirected to -->
<!--
timeOut = "2000";
newSite = "http://weblibrary.vh.eng.vzwcorp.com/weblibrary/home.do?dept=NSS";
function timer() { self.setTimeout("self.location.href = newSite;",timeOut) }
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="timer()">
Thanks!
