2 Frame On Same Page

[gokula309]

Hi ,
I've a doubt using 2 frames in same page .

PAGE 1 has 2 frames called F1 and F2.

F1 refers page P2
F2 refers page P3

In this P2 has a drop down list (bank ), when it's changed branch combo get loaded depend on bank code using BankCode_Select edIndexChanged event.

both are server controls.

first time it's loaded correctly.. After that i'm submitting the page P2 (which is in frame F1)..
It retrives values and display it in P3 ( i mean in frame F2 )

Once again if i try to change bank code , it didn't fire BankCode_Select edIndexChanged event . instead it fires page_load() function of page3 ( in frame F2)...

i dont know why it's calling page_load of Page P3 , instead of page_load of Page P2
.
If anyone knows , plz help me

How are you reloading the values into P3 based on the values in P2?

I could be wrong here but..I think what's happening is your whole page is getting submitted when the DropDownList's index is changed. In order to re-display the page, P3's page_load must be called and your values are getting lost.

This seems overly complicated for what you are trying to do.

hi friend,
Page1.aspx has coding like this

<frameset>
<FRAME name=frame2 src=page2.aspx>
<FRAME name=frame3 src=page3.aspx>
</frameset>

In frame 2(Actually frame1's SRC= page2.aspx) ,so in page 2 there is a bank combo (runat=server) ,
and one more combo called branch (runat=server) .
when bank combo changed , the branch combo must be reloaded to display branches based on bank code.
after that i click "OK" button , it calls a javascript which has the following code

document.form2.method="post";
document.form2.target=" frame3";
document.form2.submit();
 

so It will display some details of bank's in frame3 ( Actually frame3's SRC= page3.aspx)

so page3 has datagrid to display the details.

when page1 is loaded page2 ( which is in frame2)
has bankcode combo (LOADED with values) and branch code combo (not loaded).
page3 is empty. ( which is in frame3)

when i select bank , it will load branch codes ( in this event page2's page_load() function and bankcombo_selec tedIndexchange( ) events are fired and branches loaded successfully.).

Then i'll click "OK" button , which submit's the form2 (page2's form name ) and it's result targeted to frame2 as like above code. (This time page3's page_load() function called and datagrid loaded, based on parameter send from page2 )

so page3's datagrid loaded with neccessary info of bank and branch ..

Now, my problem is ....

Again if i select some other bank in bank combo, it doesn't call it's corresponding page_load ( must be page2's page_load() fuction called and bankcombo_Selec tedIndexChanged (..) ), but it calls page3's page_load() function ..

But bank combo is in page2 only..

Why ?

Plz help me...

Hi gokula309,

I'm sorry about the delayed reply.
I took some time to research your problem and discovered that any time that you need to call your server side code, the Whole page is refreshed. I also discovered that when a frameset page is refreshed, the original urls for each frame are loaded.

This means that your Page3.aspx will be re-loaded every time you submit your information to the server from any aspx page in your frameset. It doesn't matter whether the server side code was called from Page1.aspx, Page2.aspx, or Page3.aspx, all of them will be reloaded.

eg.
If you submit information from Page2.aspx, your Page1.aspx and Page3.aspx will be reloaded.

According to this article on Working with Frames in .NET, if you use SmartNavigation in your aspx pages, only the elements within the form will be submitted to the server.

I hope this helps you!

Hi Frinny,
Thanks for your timely help... I tried some other ways too.. Not able to solve it. My friend told that one option for that AJAX..

Ajax could work...

I still think that the frames are over complicating your problem.
I recommend thinking about putting your pages into user controls and adding them to a single page.

Cheers!
