Reset an Iframe

Hi,

Is there a way to reset an IFrame from with in other frame in PHP or should I use HTML for that?

Can somebody help me with the PHP or HTML code?

Thanks in advance,
Jack

Use JavaScript...say your frame is called "iframefun"

The code

<html>
<head><title>This is funky.</title>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
function reloadFrame() {
     parent.iframefun.reload();
}
//-->
</script>
<body>
<p>Hello. This is funky.</p>
<p><iframe src="blahblahblahblah.html" name="iframefun" height="500" width="500" /></p>
<p>You can modify the height and width to suit your needs.</p>
<p>Click on the link below to reload the IFrame. </p>
<p><a href="#" onclick="reloadFrame()">Click me</a></p>
</body>
</html>

Hope this helps.

Hi Merve,

Nope, does not work.

I have a index.php page that contains 3 IFrames (category, section and _link)

I display in the first Iframe the name of categories. If you click on a categorie link I show the sections that belong to that category in the 2nd Iframe. If you click on a section I show all the links that belong to that section in the 3rd Iframe.

If the users click on a new category the _link frame needs to be cleared.

I placed the Javascript in both index.php and the page that goes into the first Iframe. I gave the link the onclick event but the _link frame does not clear.

The JavaScript should be:

parent._link.document.reload();

I think....Merve is usually wrong but is always happy to help...we'll work this one out together!
