Update of two frames by one click

07-01-2007, 3:11 PM

Hello,

I need to update two html frames (java script number 1 and 2) by one user
click. As far as I know this is not possible in PHP, so
I tried a combination of Java Script and PHP. See following source code.
Further I need to pass the address for frame 1 to the Java Script function
"updateFrame()" by a PHP variable. What I tried so far did not work.

Can anybody help me, to solve my problem ?

Lars

pass both addresses to the javascript function and change both href's there.

in the tag --
onClick="javascript:updateFrame('thisaddress.php', 'thatotheraddress.php')"

I don't recall personally using an onclick in an anchor tag before.
If it does not work in an anchor it should work in a button.

Of course it is possible, and not just in PHP, but in ANY
scripting language. You need to update the frameset and
have it pass necessary data down to the frames.

See my recent post to comp.lang.php:

and a working demo on my web site:

There are lots of ways to do this. I did this just last night. The user
might click in either frame and I wanted both frames to be refreshed. My
solution was to generate some javascript on the fly new page for the
frame that was clicked in that has an "onload=" call that changes the
document location value of the other frame (frame[0].location = blah
blah

etc... The javascript is generated on the fly by the PHP with the
appropriate location target for the other frame. The nice thing about
this method is that is loads just only the smallest piece of script on
the client.

In my case, I have three frames and the user can do something in either
that will require the others to be rebuilt with new content as well as
history.

If this is not clear, let me know and I will put up a widget on my site
that shows how to do this.
