Frames

[Arrow_Raider]

Is it possible to display different pages in frames within server side code?

[davebat]

yes you would just do it exactly the same way you would normally make a framespage. Your frameset would still be a html document but the pages within can be asp

I know how to create the frame sets, but not manipulate them within the server side code

[davebat]

what do you mean manipulate. the easiest thing would be to say exactly ehat u want to do

[EyeTalion]

it's just going to be a regular asp page inside a html frame page...create your asp page as you normally would then all your doing in the html page is calling the asp page

i need to be able to change what page is showing in the sever code, not within the client side code. I already knwo how to do it in the client side code.

If you want an answer then ask a question.

What are you trying to do? what do you mean chnge frames in the server side code?

i have a clan website and when you click on a button on the left side bar, it changes the page showing in the main frame. I need to do this in the server side code. I can't use clinet side code for this situation. It must be done in the server side code.

[Arrow_Raider]

ok here is a question if you cant create one from stating what i need to know. How do you freaking change the page that is being displayed inside of a frame within the serverside code?

I'd wadger he means something similar to this (http://www.comriesoftware.net/codewidgets/product.aspx?key=44). I'm looking for information about this too but haven't found any yet. I find it hard to believe that doing this is so hard or so difficult that it's worth spending money for though.

[Arrow_Raider]

yea, i wonder if microsoft even made this possible.

[Arrow_Raider]

it must be possible, that last thing was kinda similar. Also, i find it kinda retarded that you woudl have to pay for the source code for that small stupid sample thing.

If you have ever been to a site with frames, usually the frames are used fro navigation. Like havign a side bar that has links on it and then when you click on a link it chanegs the page in the main frame. I need to do that, but i need it to change the page in the serverside code.

Yes, I'm trying to do the same thing....Well, not really navigate to a different page, but reload the same page with different information. Basically, I have a form in my mian page and items on the navigation bar. When I click on an item on the navigation bar, I need it to send information to the form on the main page. It seems simple enough, but I can't figure out how to do it. I'm sure I gotta put information in a session object or something.

The truth is, web programming confuses me. I'm having a heck of a time figuring out the whys and hows of the context and httprequest and httpresponse and httpsession classes. I *might* understand the page and application classes, but who knows for sure.

[csnyder]

Did you buy the example? I'm still trying to figure out how to do it myself (research web aapps...am a little more clear about some of these classes.) I'll post a solution if I ever figure out how to do it. Please do likewise. :)

Is it stealing if one of us breaks down, buys it, and shares it here? Maybe not the exact code, but the gist of how to do it.....
