Embedded IFRAME needs to refresh its parent after event 2

[AlaskanDad]

This is a sticky one.

- I've got a default.htm with an IFrame (inframe.asp) in it.
- Inside inframe.asp is chatroom.asp
- Inside chatroom.asp is three Frames
- The middle frame is sourced by chatwindow.asp
- Inside chatwindow.asp is an IFrame (RoomRefresher.asp)

RoomRefresher.asp continually checks to see if a new message has been added to the database. When it has, I want chatwindow.asp to be refreshed.

I've got RoomRefresher.asp to trigger positively but don't know how to correctly refresh its parent.

Any suggestions?

Using Javascript:

parent.location.reload();

Is there anyway to affect a querystring with that reload()?

Unfortunately, when a new message is added, the URL has a Msg=1 querystring sent to the chatwindow.asp page. When the page is reload()-ed, the Msg=1 querystring is repeated which adds a new message to the database, which causes a reload, which adds a new message.... etc.

Can anything be added inside of the ()'s ?

Thanks!

Hmm, try this:

parent.location = parent.location.split("?")[0];

I'm afraid I don't understand what that's supposed to do.

I do want the parent reloaded (there are some "good" querystrings in there) but I don't want Msg=1 included. Maybe we could specify Msg=0?

Thanks for your continuing help.

What about:

parent.location = parent.location.replace("Msg=1", "Msg=0");

I'm afraid that gave me a page not found error.

Happy Dance Time!!!!

Thanks to cLFlaVA and chessbot for getting me to think out loud!

After the new message was added, I simply redirected the page to itself without the Msg=1 so it was set for the parent.location.reload().

Now, it works perfectly!

Thanks again!
