Reload another frame

coenen

I've got the following problem:

I've got a page with 3 frames: TopFrame, MainFrame and RightFrame.

The MainFrame contains a form to add data and my RightFrame contains a query of data that the user had put in the form. What I want is when I submit my form and enter the data in the database, the RightFrame gets a reload so the query picks up the new data.

At this moment I put a meta tag refresh into the RightFrame with a 30 sec delay. But that's not the best way to solve this problem. Because I'm a newbie I can't create a good solution for this problem in PHP.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

Hi,
with javascript you can refer to a frame, then reload it.
just <script>document.parent.RightFrame.Location=document.parent.RightFrame.Location</script>

or some other like this...

I tried this,

But I get an error from the browser that the object doesn't exist.

My Frameset is build like this:

<html>
<head>
<title>Order Uitgeven</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>
<?PHP

$POST[id] = $GET[id];
print("<frameset rows=\"50,\" frameborder=\"NO\" border=\"0\" framespacing=\"0\">");
print("<frame src=\"selected_order.php?id=".$POST[id]."\" name=\"topFrame\" scrolling=\"NO\" noresize >");
print("<frameset cols=\",450\" frameborder=\"NO\" border=\"0\" framespacing=\"0\">");
print("<frame src=\"order_add_tw.php?id=".$POST[id]."\" name=\"mainFrame\">");
print("<frame src=\"order_add_list.php?id=".$_POST[id]."\" name=\"rightFrame\">");
print("</frameset>");
print("</frameset>");

Maybe this gives you a clue, because I really don't know anything about Java-scripting. I just begon with PHP.

Ok,
i've look at my code.

try this:

You must put this code at the end of form page, in the mainFrame.

P.S.: PHP and Javascript are complementary. You must know it. it's usefull with PHP...

It still doesn't work,

I don't get an error message from the browser anymore but the rightFrame doesn't reload.

I put the script that is the mainFrame into this post, maybe that helps.

I see that JavaScript is indeed worth looking at!

bad76

Well. Remove .replace and use just this

P.S: To get a javascript error doubleclick on yellow icon at left bottom of browser...

coenen

YES!!

That did it, now the rightFrame does reload after I submit the form.

Thanx for the effort!

By the way, I know that the yellow icon displays errors. But your second solution didn't create an error.

Do you maybe know a good site for learning JavaScript?

Not, sorry.
But if you search, on google or other, you'll found a bit.

see you
