server.transfer to reload PARENT page (contains frames) -- how to retain values?

KathyB

Hi,

Been reading a LOT about frames, variables, etc. I realize you can NOT
use server.transfer with target frames (which are client)...

I have a Parent frame containing Left and Right frames. IS IT POSSIBLE
(and HOW please) to do the following:

4 text controls filled in by user in Left frame, with a button click
event to:

Reload Parent frame containing: reload Left frame keeping (or
replacing) its .text values and load a new Right frame, loading an
xmlDocument (source filename is needed from a text value in Left
frame).

Any EXAMPLES very appreciated...or can I simply NOT do this?

Thanks, Kathy

p.s. I know there is a lot of opinion AGAINST frames, but that is not
an option for me just now...thanks.

You might want to use dynamically created client script in your left frame to reload the whole window after postback. You can build a query string on postback to forward to the other frames.

There are many ways to do that. One would be to add the "onload" event to the left frame's body tag:

HtmlGenericControl bodyCtrl;

void Page_Load()
{
...

if (IsPostBack)
{
...

string query="";

query+="var1="+HttpUtility.URLEncode(myTxtBox1.Tex t);
query+="&var2="+HttpUtility.URLEncode(myTxtBox2.Te xt);
query+="&var3="+HttpUtility.URLEncode(myTxtBox3.Te xt);
query+="&var4="+HttpUtility.URLEncode(myTxtBox4.Te xt);

bodyCtrl.Attributes.Add("onload","top.location='Ou terFrame.aspx?"+query+"'")
}

...
}

The body element of your left frame must of course have a RunAt="Server" attribute:

<body Runat="Server" id="bodyCtrl">
In your outer frame file then, you forward the query string to the right frame... I guess you know how to create hyperlinks (or any text) dynamically?
