guys,

i want to make a page with two frames, one is the main and the other is the page refresh...like this example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled</title>
</head>
<frameset cols="1%,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0">
<frame src="refresh.htm" name="refresh">
<frameset rows="80%,*">
<frame src="msg.htm" name="main">
</frameset>
</frameset>
</html>

i want to know if is possible to make a javascript code that do the refresh in the frame (main) if the frame (refresh) have a new data ...(dont worry about the data, i have a php+mysql code for this).... it is possible?

I don't know about "if there is new data" since it's a client-side script, you'd have to use PHP to check if it's new data, and then send different JavaScript code to the browser, I guess. But nevertheless, you'd use this to refresh the main page from the refresh page:


top.main.location.reload();

You might do beter with

top.main.location.reload(true);
