I wrote a page with iframe inside, here's the structure:
count.html:
/* http://example.com/count.html */
<div class="primary">
<h2>Countdown</h2>
<div class="content">
<iframe src="page2.html" id="iframe"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
index.html:
/* http://example.com/index.html */
<div class="primary">
<h2>Home</h2>
<div class="content">
<iframe src="home.html" id="iframe"></iframe>
</div>
</div>
page2.html:
<head>
<script>
var count = "<!--# echo time -->"; /* C code will control it*/
function display() {
if (wait_seconds == null) {
wait_seconds = (count == "" ? 180 : parseInt(count));
}
document.countdown.b.value = wait_seconds;
if (wait_seconds <= 0) {
if(redirect == null || redirect == "")
redirect = "index.html";
location.href = redirect;
return;
} else {
wait_seconds = wait_seconds-1;
}
window.setTimeout("display()", 1000);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name='countdown'>
<h2>Countdown Bar</h2>
<input type='text' size='2' name='b' disabled>
</form>
<script>
display();
</script>
</body>
I designed a countdown bar in the iframe(page2.html)
, when time's up, I want count.html refresh and change to the default page index.html, but when page refresh, it stucked in count.html and only refresh the iframe(page2.html), so when time's up, I saw count.html has a iframe with index.html inside, how to fix it?

[window.]location.href controls the location of the current frame.
Using [window.]top.location.href controls the location of the topmost document.
Change location.href = redirectURL; to top.location.href = redirectURL;
See Difference between window.location.href and top.location.href for more details.

Here's another approach without using javascript, put a meta tag described below into your head tag in count.html
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5; url=index.html" />
