I've got a htm frame page with 2 aspx pages(main and left) in the frames. I've got a server-control button on main. When I press this button the left frame(left.aspx) must change to (left2.aspx). In other words. I taget the left frame from the main frame, to chage that the left page. How can I do that. Remember it must be vb.net code.:)

I've tried server.transver(left2.aspx), but it only change the main frame to left2.aspx

Please help, beg you.

Is there a necessity to generate a postback for this button? Is the button doing anything other than changing the location of the page in the other frame? If that's the case than you needn't use a server control button. You should just use a regular button input in the HTML of your ASPX and write the javascript to change the href location of the other frame.

Alternatively you can have the asp:button click event register a startup script which contains the same javascript that the client-side button click would have had.

RegisterStartupScript("<script language=""javascript"">leftFrame.location.href='l eft2.aspx';</script>")

Hmmmm, yes? AFAIK, the startup script fires as soon as the page has loaded (well, just before that).

IMO, you should add the click handler to the button directly using its Attributes collection:


Button1.Attributes.Add("onclick", "parent.frames['leftNav'].location.href='page2.aspx';")

This adds an additional click handler to the button that will run before the page gets submitted.

Cheers,

Thanks for the help auks.
To Imar: I did use the attributes command but I used "onmouseUp" key
To Planoie: My button does a athentication and then redirect to the left2.aspx. I tried your java code, but I cant get it working, because I use more than 2 frames: Top, 3 in the middle and a footer frame. So if I say leftframe, it reload the most left one. So I cant specify a frame by its name, or can I?

Tankx again

Jaco

Well, yes you can. LeftFrame is not necessarily the frame at the left, but it's a frame called LeftFrame.

In your frameset, you can give each frame a name, so it's accessible by code. If you have nested frames, you'll need to provide the nested name as well, something like:

parent.MainFrame.SubFrame

or

parent.frames['MainFrame'].frames['SubFrame']

I suggest you post the code for your frameset so we can take a look at it.


Cheers,

Imar

Hallo,

Also new to all this.
What would the synax be for the above using C#?

I am also trying to change a second frame to a different page.
I'm using frames to prevent the whole page from redrawing each time.

Is there a better way to do this?

Cheers!

If you want to be more browser compatible you should use frames. Otherwise, you could use IFrames, which are a IE specific HTML tag (at least for now).
