avoid refresh on server side 1

[mthrawn]

I've heard a dirty rumour that when scripting on server side, an ugly refresh (you know what I mean!!) can be avoided by passing the data into an iframe and refreshing within the iframe. Hence the data still refreshes, but you don't see it, all you get is a nice client-side re-entry of data. Does anyone know how I would do this?

Dear Matt,

First let me state that I am not endorsing this technique.

An IFrame ( IE only )can be dynamically loaded from an ASP page. It can also be accessed in client script from the parent frame.

So basically you can use an invisible IFrame as a round-trip vehicle then use client script to move the data from the IFrame to the parent frames elements, OR...

You can use visible IFrames to contain all or part of your user input elements and again perform the server trips within the IFrames.

Hope this helps
