Refreshing page that keeps cached information 2

[programmher]

Can anyone provide me the code that will refresh my page AND keep my cached information?

All the examples I've located thus far do not address cached information. I need to retain the variables associated with my parent/main page.

you'll have to store them in a hidden frame, a querystring or a cookie to do this with client-side javascript. jared@aauser.com -

Cookies have to remain be turned off so I have to explore your other options of a hidden frame or a querystring. Do you have any examples of either?

jsut use a frameset and make a 0 row frame named storage. when you want to persist some info across several pages, you can store things in from your content frame like so:

parent.storage.whatever="somevalue"

and then access them the same way.

The querystring can be used by addding a variable onto the end of the url(i think it can only hold up to 256 bytes by the way):

window.location="nextpage.htm?whatever="+somevalue

And can then be accessed on nextpage.htm like this:

window.location.search.split("=&quot[1]

Of course, if you need to add more than one value, you need to separate them by '&' signs:

"nextpage.htm?whatever="+somevalue+"&other="+another

and you would have to split on '&'s as well jared@aauser.com -

I don't know if this will be of any use but it is how i ensure that my intranet pages auto refresh, it is dirty and probably cheating but it does work.

It generates the URL of the page i wish to go to and adds on to the end of it a 6 digit randomly generated number,( it fools all the browsers into believing it is a brand new unread page.)

Hope it helps.

x = int(rnd(100000)*100000)
Document.Write &quot;[ignore]<a href=www.mypage.com[/ignore]?t=&quot; & x & &quot;>My Link</a>&quot;
</script>

well, window.reload(true) forces a reload ... and doesn't display cached variables ...
