Making the bottom Frame refresh from the top frame... [RESOLVED]

[thegreatone]

How do you make the bottom frame refresh after every 310 seconds from the top frame ? or how would i make the bottom frame reload from a list of urls in the top frame every 310 seconds?

Say if i used this...

<script> 
var pup=new Array() 
pup[0]="530740" //Druchii-lord
var winfeatures="scrollbars=1,resizable=1,toolbar=1,location=1,menubar=1,status=1,directories=1" 

function loadpup(){ 
win2=window.open("http://216.22.4.47/page.php?x=" + pup[Math.floor(Math.random()*(pup.length))],"",winfeatures) 
win2.blur() 
window.focus() 
} 
loadpup()

</script>

And modified it somehow to refresh the bottom frame every 310 seconds... Is this possible?

If so HOW ????????????????????????????

i wonder if u can just use a target with the

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="0; url=homepage.htm"> 

meta tag.

oh, and this really shouldnt be in PHP if u wanna do it in JS.

If you want it to continuously refresh itself, then I think morrowasted's idea of using a <meta> tag would be the best idea. The frame would actually be refreshing itself, but that shouldn't matter if you just want it refresh on a regular interval.

Which makes sense if you're talking about your chat script you're making.

Firstly it is a different project...

What i mean is that from the top frame on my page open another page from a list into the bottom frame.

How would i go about doing this?

Say from the code example i gave it allows the page to be randomly selected, but i want it to randomly select an url and load it into the bottom frame, i want it to do this every 310 seconds...

HOW ?

I posted a solution to this on the other thread you have. The code is:

<script type="text/javascript">
    time = 310000; //310 seconds
    link = 'topframe.html'; //page you want to go to
    setTimeout('refreshtop()', time);

    function refreshtop() {
        parent.document.frames('topFrame').location.href = link;

        setTimeout('refreshtop()', time);
    }
</script>

For an explaination, go view the other thread.

None of the above seem to work for me...

oh yeah and i need to actually display the page not just write a text link...

HELP

The code I provided worked perfectly for me. You must be doing something wrong.

Here it is again (just fixed a bit):

<script type="text/javascript">
    time = 310000; //310 seconds
    link = 'topframe.html'; //page you want to go to

    function refreshtop() {
        parent.document.frames('topFrame').location.href = link;
    }

    setTimeout('refreshtop()', time);
</script>

If it doesn't work for you, then you are not explaining your problem well.

Yeah, I posted one in the other thread too, and it works fine.

He's posted virtually the same question four times:

And gotten an answer on each thread, yet it's still unresolved?

Yes their is still something wrong i have scrapped the fact that i want it to reload in the top frame its too hard and nothing seems to work..

So how about refreshing into an I-Frame?
Is this any easier?

Any ideas?

It is NOT hard. The code we gave you WORKS. YOU must be doing something wrong.

Why don't you post your FULL CODE that ISN'T working and we can problably point what YOU'RE doing wrong.

It would be the EXACT same method.

Wait a minute...since this is the PHP forum...you aren't trying to run that JavaScript code I gave you as PHP, are you...?

[kows]

Dude, the PHP and JS scripts I replied to you were using an IFrame, and they work fine, I even posted an example on my own server that used the exact scripts I posted. You have to be doing something wrong; the scripts all work fine.

I'm guessing you're new to programming.. because all of the signs are there.

I don't think he knows what he's doing. In ALL of his threads (refreshing a frame or not), he's never gotten back and said that it works. I think somebody skipped basics and is trying to just jump in somewhere.
