Hi,
In our current application, when we click on submit button in child widow, the form wil be submitted in a way that response will bel oaded in a specific frame in the parent window by usign the following attribute
document.formname.target="mainFrame"
"mainFrame" is the framename in the parent window.
The above fucntionality worked with out any issues with all previous versions on Internet Explorer, but in IE11 the response is
loading in a new window instead of parent window though meta tag is added to load the window in IE8 mode.
I can go with an alternative as below , but this would lead to GET instead of POST which is not preferrable.
window.opener.top.frames.mainframe.location="newPage.html
Please let me know incase of any other alternatives.
The sample files are attached for easy reference.
