Refresh Page when Frame is Reloaded

vatik · Dec 17, 2004

I'm sorry this actually is more of an HTML question, but I am assuming some of you may know the answer.

I have an inline frame that im using to alter data. However, when the form inside the inline frame is submitted, it just refreshes the frame. I need the submit button inside of inline frame to call a page refresh for the master document. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Steve

For example:

index.asp
----------------------------
<html>
<body>
<%Response.Write(session("test"))%>
<iframe src="iframe.asp"</iframe>
</body>
</html>
----------------------------

iframe.asp
----------------------------
<%
If Request.QueryString("submitButton") <> "" Then
Session("test") = "Its working"
End If
%>
<form action="#" name="formName" method="post">
<input name="submitButton" type="submit" value="passedToIndex"></input>
</form>
----------------------------

The point is to get the index page to automatically reload when the iframe form is submitted, so that the session will output correctly, without a refresh.

p.s. dont get caught up in the code above, i just typed it out without testing as an example. there could be errors

well... best option i can see outright :

form method="post" TARGET="_top" will force the whole page to load, although you will need to make the housing page for the iframe form handle the form results.
