Hey Bryce, why are you making it onLoad? Shouldn't it redirect if it wasn't onLoad anyway?

This is where my lack of javascript knowledge shows up… what's the alternative to onLoad?

Put redirect(); after the function code for redirect to call it immediately:

function redirect() {
window.top.location.href = "http://bmcenterprises.wdfiles.com/local--code/css3:forum-redirect2/1?parent=" + parent + "&anchor=" + anchor;
}

Done. Thanks for that Kenneth. I also changed the location of the code to http://bmcenterprises.wikidot.com/r to make the URL a little more neat. I think I'm almost ready to take this to http://css3.wikidot.com.

That's good! I'm looking forward to seeing it in action on css3.wikidot.com :D

And I love the "saving now" and "page saved" replacement. Please do a tutorial on it! :D

Hmm, Firefox doesn't seem to like the change from onLoad to the direct function call - it just stops half way through the redirect. Is there something particularly bad about using onLoad?

Not really. You can add onLoad there for FF. (I.e. Have both)

The redirect fails completely in Opera, so I'll have to spend a bit more time refining the code before moving it over to http://css3.wikidot.com.

You might want to try putting all three of the following as redirects:

window.top.location.href=theLocation;
window.parent.location.href=theLocation;
window.top.location.replace(theLocation);

I think the problem in Opera is to do with grabbing the variables from the URL - so I'll look into some other, similar solutions.
