Open csv file in one frame in IE7 and can't go back previous home page

Topic:

JavaScript;;Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)

I get two frames in my start website page, main.html.
In First frame with src=inputbutton.html, is that the first input button(Home) to call back Home page which is
set to any website I want to go and second button(MyExcel) will go to open excel csv file(myexcel.csv) and
both button will go to display the content in the second frame, name="mainFrame" by
parent.mainFrame.document.location.href

The question is that after I display myexcel.csv file in second frame succesfully by click MyExcel button ,
I could NOT go back to the previous home.html page by click the Home button in the first frame. And I try to
replace the link href of my.excel.csv by www.yahoo.com
It will be able to go back to the home page by click HOME button. Why it can't go back with myexcel.csv?

Is it the problem related to the csv file display in IE7 will cause frame issue or problem ?

Please advise

Duncan

Finally it is solved if I change as follows

From mainFrame.document changing into mainFrame.window

parent.mainFrame.window.location.href="http://www.mywebsite.com/home.html?Load"+new Date().getTime();}

Thanks for your reply, probably the link is working for parsing csv into html table.
But our user wants to display it in excel format so they can do some simple math calcuation
after download the csv completely
Probably, we should go back to the previous problem, why can't go back the previous page after
reading csv file. Probably, it is due to the file that is not html page and it is csv file.
Any other suggestion ?

my feeling is that you have activated the excel (office) plugin to display the excel file in the browser and once you've done that it won't let you change the href property.

would this be a better solution to load the csv file and bypass the plugin, given that some of your end users may not have it anyway?
