top.window

[Rohit Agarwal]

Hi,

What is the use of top.window. Why top.window works in portal but window. is there any document related to this??

Thanks,

[Priyanka Patil2]

If you are within a frame:

• window refers to the current frame.
• parent refers to the parent of the current frame.
• top refers to the outermost frame.

If you're not within any frame, these will all just be a reference to the current window. If you're only within one level of frame, parent and top will both be a reference to the same thing.

Thank you

It is not supported in ServicePortal (ServiceNow catches the calls):
