IFrame Change the parent

[Pselus]

hey I'm a n00b at Javascript so I could use some help.
I have menus done in Javascript and dhtml. Each menu item changes an IFrame src on the page. I need some way to catch the postback (I'm working in ASP.NET) of the page inside the iframe (which I already know how). What I'm here about is how do I cause the parent of the IFrame (the page with the menus) to reload if the iframes refreshes.
i.e. I'm going to add an onLoad myScript(); to the iframe and in the myScript() I need to check what posted the page back and then refresh the parent of the IFrame.

Here is one way of doing this.
Presuming that you have a way of knowing that when your IRAME was refreshed,then at that point you should be able to do something like this
top.window.location = top.window.location;

Hope this helps

Cheers

quick question.
what's the best way for me to detect a postback to the page in the javascript? My past is with asp.net and asp 3.0 so I don't know how js would do this.

like in that myScript function someone test if it's on a postback and if it's on a specific one and if so to refresh the main page.

a question related to this.
how to I capture the source of the iframe from inside the iframe?
do I reference the parent somehow?
or just the page?

yeah I'm dumb I got it (this.location)....you'll learn that I ask questions then solve them immediatly afterward (only because I asked)
:rolleyes:

next question (which I'll probably solve)
how can I reference a function in a parent page?

[khalidali63]

Lets just waite and see if you can solve it...lol

joking.

top.functionName() shoudl let you do this.
