Refreshing one iframe from another?

[Kim Noer]

Hi there..

I have a file that contains three iframes, when one of the iframes is
updated (via <form target ...> then it must 'refresh/reload' the originating
iframe, ie. the iframe that sent the form action.

I've looked around, but I haven't managed to find a method yet, that does
not utilitize some MS only method. So how do I do it, and maintaining W3C
compatibility?

I doubt, therefore I might be.

Not W3C but if you use
<iframe name="iframe1" ...
and
<iframe name="iframe2"
then you can script
if (parent.frames. iframe2) {
parent.frames.i frame2.location .reload();
}
that is more compatible with existing browsers than relying on W3C DOM
stuff where you need
<iframe id="iframe1" ...
and
<iframe id="iframe2"
with script
if (parent.documen t.getElementByI d) {
var iframe2 = parent.document .getElementById ('iframe2');
if (iframe2 && iframe2.default View) {
iframe2.default View.location.r eload();
}
}

Thanks a bunch, this one worked without any problem (both in IE and
Firefox).
