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)

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

Thanks,
MR
