Refreshing Frame From Page

[eiteljoh 0]

Hello. I have an HTML frameset, with, lets say 2 frames. Frame A and Frame B. The user goes and navigates around, then makes an update within frame B, which in turn requires a refresh of frame A. Does anyone know how to do this? Prefereably I would like to do it in HTML, then if not possible, in JavaScript, then if not possible Perl.But I have a feeling it's doable in JS, but can't work out exactly the heirarchy for the page within a frame. Any ideas?? Thanks.

"then makes an update within frame B"

 

I'm not sure what's the meaning of this. I suppose it may be page reload or text change. Anyway, you need define a event processor for it.

 

In the event processor, use top.frame[0] to reference frame A to load another page.

 

But there are a limitation, the page in frame A and frame B should be from the same domain. The security in IE forbid access between frames from different domain.

 

If so, you need reload the whole window. The server return a new frame set and frames. From the user view, there is no much difference to the previous solution.
