iframe reloads another iframe

Report · Jan 19, 2009

i have a page that has 2 iframes...

"iframe1" is a form "pstpg.cfm" that posts to itself and writes to table...

when a visitor submits form in "iframe1" need it to tell "dsppg.cfm" in "iframe2" to refresh.

i know not a cf issue but driving me nuts

tnx in advance

if you are on CF8, you can use CFDIV instead of iframes and use
ajaxonload() and ColdFusion.navigate() functions to refresh the second
cfdiv...

it is still early here and i am only on my first cup of coffee and i
can't quiet remember right now how to do it with iframes (if you are not
on CF8), but that is sure to require javascript...

thanks Azaid but i am not using cf8..

i use this script which has the correct function on a page that has frames and iframes

<body onLoad="top.topr.headr.location.href='sect_hd.cfm?secID=#gtsec.secID#'">

where "top" is a frame name. this page has no frames so all pages load in index.cfm

what i need is to just tell iframe2's file to refresh when iframe1's file is acted upon.

If it's possible, you will probably have to use some inner HTML. iframe1 will have to talk to iframe2 via the parent.

Dan Bracuk and all...

i do appreciate your thoughts but telling me that iframe1 needs to talk to iframe2 is not really a help. what i would appreciate is someone who actually understands my issue and that i have spent 1/2 day trying everthing i can think of.

i do expect it to be a javascript function but do not know what it is.

tnx again,

but, as was wisely suggested in of the other links i found:
DON'T use iframes - use AJAX.
