    Refreshing frames

    Let me just start by saying... and I truly do mean this... I HATE
    frames. Now that I have that out of my system, unfortnualty I do not
    have a choice and am forced to use the complex structure that I am so
    SO needing help with. My framesets look like this

    ---------------------
    | title |
    |--------------------
    | buttons |
    |--------------------
    | base |
    |--------------------

    inside the base frame I have ANOTHER frameset... split into frmLeft
    and frmRight... now if your mind isnt tied into knots... I am sure
    this will do it... I have a button called 'add category', which is on
    the buttons frame. When I click the button, I get a popup with the
    details... I add the category details... then I need the frame titled
    frmLeft to refresh. Is this possible ? I know it is just one line of
    code by I might as well be trying to work out the formula for time
    travel !

    Any help would be appreciated

      From the popup window, the attribute you need to refresh is

      opener.parent.f rmLeft.location

      Depending on what you mean by refresh, you might want either:


      opener.parent.f rmLeft.location .refresh(true);
      or

      opener.parent.f rmLeft.location = someURL;

      Here's an example that sets the location to a new URL.
      Don't let the fact that I define the HTML for each frame in
      script overwhelm you. The string value for each frame's
      HTML is exactly what would appear in each separate file:



      <html>
      <head>
      <script type="text/javascript">
      var titleHTML= "<html><body><h 1>Title<\/h1><\/body><\/html>";

      var buttonHTML= [ "<html><body><b utton onclick='",
      "window.open(\" javascript:open er.top.popupHTM L\",",
      "\"popup\",\"wi dth=200,height= 200,resizable\" )'",
      ">add category<\/button>",
      "<\/body><\/html>"].join("");

      var popupHTML= [ "<html><body><b utton onclick='",
      "opener.parent. frmLeft.locatio n=",
      "\"http://www.google.com\ ";self.close()' >",
      "Google<\/button>",
      "<\/body><\/html>"].join("");

      var frmLeftHTML= "<html><body><h 3>frmLeft<\/h3><\/body><\/html>";
      var frmRightHTML= "<html><body><h 3>frmRight<\/h3><\/body><\/html>";
      </script>
      </head>
      <frameset rows="20%,30%,* ">
      <frame name="title" src="javascript :top.titleHTML" >
      <frame name="buttons" src="javascript :top.buttonHTML ">
      <frameset cols="50%,*">
      <frame name="frmLeft" src="javascript :top.frmLeftHTM L">
      <frame name="frmRight" src="javascript :top.frmRightHT ML">
      </frameset>
      </frameset>
      </html>
