reload a frame from an onLoad in another frame

[dpkdesign]

I have a frameset with a navigation bar at left, a banner frame on top right and content frame beneath the banner frame

I want the banner frame to reload when a new page is loaded into the content frame. I do not want the reload to come from the navigation bar.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I don't know why you would want to do something like that... Why not just have a <meta> tag to refresh the advertisement at intervals?

And if you want to use javascript, why not use the navbar to trigger the banner's frame to load? It would require a lot less maintainance than the alternative. (The alternative: having each and every content page have a script on it to load the banner)

If you want to use the navigation frame to trigger the banner frame to load, enter this into each clickable <a> tag:

onclick="parent.frames.banner.document.location.reload();"

As long as all the frames are contained within one frameset and the banner frame is named &quot;banner&quot;. The above is assuming that your banner frame already is assigned a URL to a banner-generating script.


If you really want to use a script in each and every loaded frame, here's the code:

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
<!--
parent.frames.banner.document.location.reload();
// -->
</script>

The above also assumes that your banner frame is named &quot;banner&quot; and that it is within the same frameset.
