How to refresh parent frame, then jump to anchor in parent?

[dlkraft]

I am working on an ap written by a vendor. The ap uses frames. The vendor is not available for questions.

I am able to use javascript provided by the vendor to get the page I want to open in the parent frame and can even get to the appropriate anchor on the page.

Problem is, the page in the parent frame jumps right to the anchor and doesn't refresh, so session variables set in the child page aren't seen by the parent page.

How can I get the parent frame to 1) refresh, 2) then go to the appropriate anchor?

Here is the javascript in the child frame which calls the page in the parent frame:

<script language="JavaScript">
window.parent.frames[2].location = "../dsp/rs_main.cfm?#injections";
document.location="../dsp/blankpage.cfm";
</script>

Thanks for any help you can give!

it jumps right to the anchor? that's the problem? then remove the "#injections" from the URL.

Going to the anchor is desired behavior, but the parent page being called by the child page also has to refresh before going to the anchor.

So the issue is, can I get a refresh on the parent page before the parent page gets to the anchor?

Thanks!

try using the relative path of the url

document.location="

http://www.comp.com/dsp/blankpage.cfm";

anyone have any ideas on this issue? I am having the same problem. I want to have the page refresh but also point to an anchor.
