Ian,
Put in your .aspx file just before the </form> tag a line:
<input type=hidden id=inhAction runat=server>
Here you will pass action instructions from server to client.
After switching to design view and back to html view it will add a
HtmlInputHidden control named inhAction to yoour code behind.
In the Page_Load server event put a line:
inhAction.Value=""
This will preset the action to empty string.
At the end of your server-side event that handles the save button click put
a line:
inhAction.Value="UPDATETREE"
Go back to the .aspx page and make your <body> looking as
<body onload="handleAction()">
In the <head> section of the .aspx page add a javascript
::
<script language="javascript">
function handleAction(){
if (Form1.inhAction.value=="UPDATETREE")
top.frames['search'].location.href = 'SearchTree.aspx';
}
</script>
That's about it.

Hi Eliyahu,
Thanks for your suggestion. I should have given some info on my
background. I am a VB 6.0 programmer. VB.NET is very new to me. I think I got most
of what you were suggesting, but could I get some more detail. Sorry.

3) is the way to go. Make a hidden input for passing instructions from
server to client. Make a client-side <body .. onload=..> event that will
read the input and handle the instruction if any. Normally, the input
will be empty. When you want to tell the client to update the tree, pass a
word "UPDATETREE". The client side onload event will get the word and execute
top.frames['search'].location.href = 'SearchTree.aspx';

news:%2****************@TK2MSFTNGP09.phx.gbl... Hi All,
I have an .net form that is split into two frames. The left frame has
a tree that displays a list of all the customers. The right frame
displays the appropriate clients information. When the save button is pressed
on the right frame, I want to update the tree in the left frame AFTER saving
all the data as the changes to the right frame may affect how the tree is
displayed. I tried using the following:
btnSave.Attributes("onclick") = "top.frames['search'].location.href =
'SearchTree.aspx';"
The only issue is that the above javascript executes BEFORE the server
side click event. So what I need to be able to do is either
1) call a javascript from vb.net whenever I want OR
2) without javascript, refresh a frame from another frame OR
3) somehow have the clientside script execute AFTER the
serverside script
Any help, with examples, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Ian
