I exactly have the same problem. Can you provide me the response if you get one.

The other linked question :

I have a form with a frameset. I submit the form to the upper frame. How can I refresh the bottom frame from the PHP script associated with the upper frame ? The scrip associated with the action of the form.

Is it possible ?

Thanks a lot
Etienne

Depending on what type a data you are submitting, you may be able to do something like this:
Submit the form to the parent frame. Then have the parent from reload the two children frames, passing the data to them through GET vars.

Other than that, you may be able to do some javascript voodoo. I don't know, just some ideas to consider. Of course I should mention that I avoid frames at all costs. Tables work much better for most all applications.

You can do something with Javascript. Here an example:

<form name="formName">
bla bla bla
...
...
...
...

If it's not too clear, please contact me by email and I'll try to explain it to you a little better 😛

OR, submit the form to wherever you nromally do and in the RESPONSE from that form, include javascript to redirect the other 2 pages/frames. That way, you can customize the redirection based on the results of the form submission.

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT>
function myOnLoad(){
parent.[frame name 1].location=\'some customized local\';
parent.[frame name 2].location=\'some customized local\';
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>

<BODY onLoad=\"myOnLoad\">

Alternatively, forgo the onload and run the javascript inline so while the main body is loading, it will redirect the other frames at the point it hits the script. Probably go ahead and stick this in the <HEAD> tags as well.

<SCRIPT>
parent.[frame name 1].location=\'some customized local\';
parent.[frame name 2].location=\'some customized local\';

</SCRIPT>

Hope this helps.

Best.
