Hi Everyone,

I need to reload two frames on my site when a certain page is called by the user at the moment i am doing this in the body tag of the script as follows

Code: 
<body onLoad="parent.topFrame.location.reload();">

However as i have added more functionality to my site in need to load an additional frame also,

Does anyone know the synax to do this (reloading 2 frames) or the best solution here.

Any help would be great.

Regards
Dessie

two ways:

1. You can place multiple commands in the same attribute, separating them by semicolons.
Code: 
<body onload="parent.topFrame.location.reload(); [b]parent.framename.location.reload();[/b]">

2. change the onload to call a function instead that has the JS.
Code: 
<body onload="myscript();">
In the head of your HTML
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript">
parent.topFrame.location.reload(); 
parent.framename.location.reload();
</script>

Pesonally i'd choose option 2, especially if you want to do a few things onload or onclick etc...

oops, sorry missed the function name bit....HTML should be this...
Code: 
<script type="text/javascript">
function myscript() {
parent.topFrame.location.reload(); 
parent.framename.location.reload();
}
</script>
