[java script]update frame...

[spectacell]

Hello!

I've been working for some time now on a shopping cart for a small store here in Malmoe/Sweden. I've solved almost everything now but I have some minor bugs. One that really bothers me is this.

I've made a small function in java script that looks like this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function updateframe()
{
parent.frames[3].location.href="display_down.php";
}

//-->

The button on the mainpage looks like this:

<input type="submit" value="add to cart!" name="button" onClick="javascript:updateframe()">

The problem is that it doesn't update the display_down frame directly. I have to press the button two or three times before anything happens...

I know this is a java script question but I hope there are someone here that masters that too.

Hope this all makes sense...please just ask me otherwise...

Best regards

I don't know how accurate the code presented is but here's the line I'd change

<input type="submit" value="add to cart!" name="button" onClick="java script:updateframe()">

to

<button type="button" name="button" onclick="javascript:updateframe();" value="add to cart!">add to cart!</button>

so what changed
the button doesn't try to submit a form, it just has the javascript onclick event
there is no space in the word javascript

good luck

thanks for the reply but it is supposed to submit a form...

the formresult is displayed in display_down.php

and in my code javascript is one word, it's just this page that splits it up...

I think U want this
<form action=<?=$PHP_SELF?>
<input type="submit" value="add to cart!" name="button">

And in this page, after U insert in the database (add to cart) call a JS function who make refresh to frames[3].

[spectacell]

ah I think u are right! the javascript updates the frame before the entry has been added to the database...didn't think of that!

thank u very much for the help!
