Simple frame.location.href question

[ChrisC]

I have a nice simple page - navigation frame on the left, main panel on
the right -

<frameset cols = "20%, 80%">
<frame src="LeftPanel.aspx" id="leftFrame" name="leftFrame"
width="20%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" />
<frame src="Default.aspx" id="RightFrame" name="RightFrame"
width="80%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" />
</frameset>

Trouble is, when I try to redirect the frame on the right to a
differerent URL it is not updating all the time. It is typically the
same page but with a different URL parameter e.g.
Default.aspx?postdate=01012006 to Default.aspx?postdate=08012006

Im assuming its some kind of caching bug but ive tried putting nocache
directives in the page to no avail. I've reproduced this in IE 6, IE 7
and Firefox2.

Can we see a little bit more of the actual JavaScript code? It's quite
hard to spot a problem without being able to see the code.

Thanks.

Curious that works fine for me (Firefox) and would for everyone.

test :
http://stephane.moriaux.perso.wanado...s_n_variables/
with something as your links (postdate=01012006)

<a href="Default.aspx?postdate=08012006" target="RightFrame">

or

<a herf="#"
onclick="parent.RightFrame.location='Default.aspx? postdate=08012006';
reurn false;">

The link itself is popualted in some .net code, but an example would be

javascript:parent.frames["RightFrame"].location.href =
'Default.aspx?postDate=11122006'

No importance, we have only to know what the browser will read
(resulting html code)

but an example would be

javascript:parent.frames["RightFrame"].location.href =
'Default.aspx?postDate=11122006'

where it is displayed ?
in the href of a link ?

try (with no ") :

javascript:parent.frames['RightFrame'].location.href =
'Default.aspx?postDate=11122006';

or :

javascript:parent.RightFrame.location.href =
'Default.aspx?postDate=11122006';
