Frame refresh via javascript from another frame?

[Ovatvvon]

Hello,
I have a tripple framed site (top frame, left frame, and content frame). At one point I have an option for a member to reselect the color scheme they want for their experience on the site, however, to reset the colors in all the frame, I need to refresh them all. I can't use parent.window.location.href = "myWebSite.com"; because there is the origianl page with the top and bottom frame, and within the bottom frame there is the left and right frames. If I used that, it would only relocate the bottom two frames.

Is there a way to direct the top and left frames to refresh such as browser.top.refresh(); or something to that effect?

Thanks for any help in advance! -Ovatvvon :-Q

ya there is. the frames are stored in a 'frames' array. for example, u can access the 2nd frame by parent.frames[1]. then u can give parent.frames[1].location.href = "file.html" or refresh() ( i think that function exists).

try this:

parent.top.document.location.reload();
parent.left.document.location.reload();

this might work provided all three frames are contained in by one single frameset. like so:

<frameset cols=3>
<frame name=top src=1.htm>
<frame name=left src=2.htm>
<frame name=content src=3.htm>
</frameset>

give me a ring if there are any problems.

With adding a bit to get the parent frames parent, I got it to work like so...

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='javascript'>
<!--
parent.parent.frames[0].location.reload();
parent.frames[0].location.reload();
window.location.href = 'moGeneral.asp'
// -->
</SCRIPT>

Thanks for leading me in the direction. -Ovatvvon :-Q
