Initiating re-execution of a page

[Don]

Given a page with a "header" and "main" frame, is there some way from the "header" frame to initiate
re-execution of the JavaScrip/HTML code in the "main" frame? I don't want to have to reload "main".

Thanks in advance.

What sort of code would that be - and under what condition(s) would it
need to be 're-executed'? Frames are window-style objects: you can call
functions declared in one frame from another by specifying the path to
the (function) object; you can, naturally, 're-execute' them from the
same frame as well. More information might suggest the proper
solution...

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply. I'd like to re-execute the "main" frame, which contains 90% JavaScript, and
some HTML. That frame is the page returned from a PHP script. When the "main" frame is re-executed
the JavaScript will perform differently as a result of its reading a frame variable from the
"header" frame. I just don't want to have to spend the time to reload the PHP script just to get
the same page back, when all I really need to do is re-execute it.

Still unclear on the exact sequence of events. In any case, rather than
reading the data from the header, it's probably more logical to simply
pass it in the function call:

[in 'header']

function run_mainScript( param_name)
{
if (top.main && top.main.mainSc ript)
top.main.mainSc ript(param);
}

[in 'main']
function mainScript(para m)
{
if (param)
{
[...use param...]

Hi Rob,

Thanks for your reply. I'd like to re-execute the "main" frame,

which contains 90% JavaScript, and

some HTML. That frame is the page returned from a PHP script. When

the "main" frame is re-executed

the JavaScript will perform differently as a result of its reading a

frame variable from the

"header" frame. I just don't want to have to spend the time to

reload the PHP script just to get

the same page back, when all I really need to do is re-execute it.

[in 'main']

{
if (param)
{
[...use param...]

Ok. I think that will do it. Thanks for your help Rob.
