PHP refreshing an Iframe from another Iframe

I have a page with several Iframes on it. In some events i have to refresh an Iframe from another Iframe. Each iframe contains an HTML (or PHP) file loaded by the Iframe definitions or by another activity.

In one case I need to update a field in another iframe. All i tried failed.the field is within A tag. the other field (which should be changed is text field. Those two fields are whithin DIV tag. The DIV and A tags have id and name.

is anyone knows how to do it? Pls help.

Thanks

found how to do it.

That the page lay out:

</head>

<div id="page">
<div id="header">
<iframe id="myIframe0" name="myIFrame0" height="100px" src="/xlogo.php" width="1000px" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="4" marginheight="8" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="header1">
<iframe id="myIframe9" name="myIFrame9" height="36px" src="/mainMenu.php" width="1000px" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="leftColumn" >
<iframe id="myIframe1" name="myIFrame1" height="640px" src="/SideFrame.php?DDtopic=-1" frameborder="0" width="174px" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="mainColumn" name="mainColumn" >
<?php $GLOBALS['errTxt'] = '';?>
<iframe id="myIframe2" name="myIFrame2" height="640px" src="/TVabout.php" frameborder="0" width="663px" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" ></iframe>
</div>
<div id="rightColumn" >
<iframe id="myIframe3" name="myIFrame3" height="640px" src="/RightSide.html" frameborder="0" width="100%" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="1" marginheight="1" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
</div>
<div id="aFooter" >
<iframe id="myIframe4" name="myIFrame4" height="54x" src="/footer.php" frameborder="0" width="1000px" scrolling="auto"
marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" bgcolor="#afeeee"></iframe>
</div>
</html>

in One of the PHP pages I added:

parent.document.getElementById("myIframe9").src = "/mainMenu.php";
parent.document.getElementById("myIframe2").src = "/Disp_rss.php";

and it worked.

Thanks

 

Exactly.

You can also do ir easily (i the iframe has the "name" attribute), this way:

document.myIframe2.src="/mainMenu.php";

Sounds like not much an improvement, but if you have heavy pages, it helps.
