Refresh a frame from another frame

czambran · October 21st, 2004, 12:34 AM

I have this page that gets displayed as a result of a succesful insert statement, but I want this page to refresh another frame which has a dropdown box with all the records from the database. Can somebody give me a function that I will only have to pass the name of the frame and it will refresh it?

Thanks so much

Hi Christian,

Assuming the frame you want to refresh is in the same frameset as the page you want to call the refresh from, you can use

Code:

parent.frames['yourFrameName'].location.reload();

HTH,

Chris

Chris you are a GENIUS. I tried so many things and nothing worked. Is there any good javascript book you can recommend for me to read?

Thanks so much

Hi Christian,

I'd recommend the Wrox Beginning & Professional JavaScript books - both contain a wealth of information.

Best regards,

Chris
