reload and frames

Anon

i have site with two frames (cols="100%,*"), and in first one i have
index.php3 wich is only page in my site, and im using this one page to
provide all material i have like links and diffenrent kind navigations and
other stuff.
but there is one little problem, when i hit reload in links
section (or any other) it reloads page to its index condition, and it is
more than required to reload into that specific section. how is that done?

thanks.

point your mouse to the frame you want to be reloaded. click on the RIGHT button and choose "reload".

You also can add the following php code to your page you want to be reloaded. With this code the page is never cached and you always get the newest content:

header ("Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT"); // Date in the past
header ("Last-Modified: " . gmdate("D, d M Y H:i:s") . " GMT");
// always modified
header ("Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate"); // HTTP/1.1
header ("Pragma: no-cache");

... source: php.net/manual/function.header.php

dear thomas,
i think you really didn't understund what was the real problem i got or you didn't even read whole question. my problem is not "how do i reload page". my problem is WHEN reload occurs i want page to be reloaded to that state it was before reload. i made example if it helps little bit to understund what the problem is, its in http://im.kerava.fi/bofh/example/

but anyway thanks for those useful tips.

hmm.. I got your point now. Tricky question. Actually I don't know if this is possible within a frameset. Avoid using frames 🙂

hi Thomas,

I have a problem with reloading as well. I have a page displaying all the current information in database. I use a popup window for the user to make new entries. Once they click the "save" button, the form will be sent to another PHP file to update the database, and the popup window will be closed. At this point, how can I do a effective reload to the opener window, so that the opener window will display the new entry after the popup window is closed?

I have tried the code you gave here. the page only reloaded nicely when the first record was added. And after that I had to click the "reload" icon on memu bar in order to see the new entries. How can I work around this problem?

Thanks
