refreshing html pages

Anon

Hello,

I currently have a website with 2 frames. After the user fills out a form in one frame (the "main" frame), and hits the submit button, the information is entered in a database, and the other frame (the navagation frame) is updated with some of the information entered into the database. I would like to have the navagation frame automatically reload when the user hits the submit button. I've seen how to do this with a hyperlink in javascript, but I want it to happen upon a form submission, and possibly using PHP, unless javascript would be easier.

Thanks,
--Matt

No, the only way to do this really is in javascript, just put in the button

<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Submit Form" onClick="top.frames[0].document.location.href='nav2.html';">
And that will do it..
Hope that helps

The only problem with the onClick routine, is that the page will be refreshed before the information is added to the database, so the page will not be refreshed with the new information. Once the submit button is hit, it loads some php code which enters information into a database, after that I need the navagation page to be updated.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Well, then on the page that is loaded after you submit the form (in the main section) put the following in the <HEAD> section:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
And so after the database is updated and the page in the main display is shown, it will refresh the navigation menu as well (as long as it is the first frame, frames[0], otherwise change this accordingly.)

Hope that helps!
