Hi Huseyin.

I'm afraid that didn't work. The parent page didn't update. Does it matter where I place the script-tag? I placed the onload in the present body-tag.

Best regards

Hi again, Huseyin.

That was an improvement. The parent refresh, but then the page I want to update inside the iframe is gone again. The refresh shouldn't happen until I updated/submitted the page inside the iframe. :-)
Any more alterations?

Best regards

looks like your parent also overwrites the iframe inside...

lemme think a bit :)

Hi Huseyin.

Thank you for your post. I do use Jquery a little. I need a few hints though:

1) Can I place the javascript code anywhere on top of the page?
2) I need to include the jquery on the page, right? (it isn't right now)
3) How is your script launched? When the submit button is clicked?
4) #idForm: Am I supposed to paste my iframe name there?
5) Anything else I must substitute in your script with my own stuff?

Best regards

Oh... and I actually also need a variant of the code where I after posting data in the iframe page want to redirect to another page overall.
I usually use something like:

    Dim MM_editRedirectUrl
    MM_editRedirectUrl = "rlab_patientregi_edit.asp"
	MM_editRedirectFilter  = Request.Form("cprnr")
    If (Request.QueryString <> "") Then
      If (InStr(1, MM_editRedirectUrl, "?", vbTextCompare) = 0) Then
        MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "?" & Request.QueryString
      Else
        MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "?" & "cprnr=" & MM_editRedirectFilter
      End If
    End If
    Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)

Open in new window

Can I sneak some _parent or something into that?

Hi Huseyin.

Thanks for your effort, but the code didn't make any difference on my page. I placed it on a seperate location in my codes and also together with another javascript funtion that I know works and are being launched. :-(
But after hours of searching I finally found something that worked out for me from stackoverflow:

Response.Write("<script type=text/javascript> window.parent.location.href ='http://yoursite.com' </script>")

Open in new window

And I just infused some querystrings to open up the desired page with desired filter. Problem solved. :-)

But thank you for your effort! I would still like to know why your script didn't launch. Any idea why? I want to learn as much as possible about javascripts.

Best regards

not sure what you used... any of them should work...
you used asp response.write to put it on page dynamically...

if you try one of them as you did, they should work as well, but they refresh the page, do not change top url, which you asked for initially...
