From: Eustace on 2 Mar 2010 17:33 I have a webpage with 2 frames (sidebar, content). The link is in the content frame. How can I make a link open in the whole window? If I use <a href="http://www.link.html" onclick="window.open (this.href, 'content'); return false">Link</a> it will of course open in the content frame. I do not want this. If I use <a href="http://www.link.html" onclick="window.open (this.href, ''); return false">Link</a> clicking will open another browser window or tab. That's better, but not exactly what I want. I want I make the link open in the same window, not inside the content frame or in another window. How do I do this?

Therefore, window.open("...", "w" + (new Date()).getTime(), "width=" + Math.min(640, screen.availWidth) + ",height=" + Math.min(480, screen.availHeight) + ",menubar,toolbar,location,directories,status" + ",resizable,scrollbars,titlebar,toolbars"); could provide what the OP is looking for, while that is less likely with the `target' attribute. However one should fully understand and weigh the the consequences of such a call as described in e.g. <https://developer.mozilla.org/En/DOM/Window.open>.
