Refreshing multiple frames' contents?

[Schraalhans Keukenmeester]

I have a page consisting of three frames. Top frame shows db rows,
middle frame shows contents of a file, bottom frame has buttons to
change file/row status and/or delete them.

The desired bahaviour: after clicking the "change status" or "delete"
button in bottom screen, the top and middle frames immediately show
updated data.

Achieving this in a <a href [...] is not a problem, I use the following
Javascript line:

<a href="status.php" target='bottom'
Onclick="parent.frames[1].location.href='topcontent.html';
parent.frames[2]='centercontent.html'; return true;">link</a>

But another page I use only updates a db entry and has no clickable
items. Is it possible to have it automatically refresh any of the
frames' content without the user clicking a link, immediately after the
db query is executed ?

Tips welcome, as always!

Thanks in advance
Sh.

maybe after db is executed, in that frame output <script
type="text/javascript">
parent.frames[1].location.href='topcontent.html';
parent.frames[2]='centercontent.html';
</script>

and by the way, if you have problems get phpMyAmin source ;] a very
advanced example of what you are tyring to do if i am right.

I would most probabl use AJAX which would eliminate the need for a
refresh and would also allow you to arrange the order of execution of
your functions.
