Refresh frame after form submit

[reece]

Hey.

 

I am trying to make a frame on my page refresh after a form has been submited, but at the moment it is just ingnoring the script and not refresh the frame.

 

The script is

 

<script type="text/javascript">
    window.onload = function()
    {
      <?php
        if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
          echo 'parent.mainFrame.document.location.reload();';
        }
      ?>
    }
</script>

 

Any help would be appreciated.

If you view the page source, is "parent.mainFrame.document.location.reload();" showing up?

No it shows

 

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    window.onload = function()
    {
          }
</script>

make sure the submit button has a name of "submit" applied to it.

It actually didn't but, it still dosn't work.

$_POST['submit'] would only be set if you click the button, not when you hit enter for instance. Also, you may want to check that the method of the form is post not get.

 

does your code show properly in the source now?

The form uses post and i am clicking the button.

Okay, then you might have a logic issue...

 

This code is going to run on page load, which would mean that the submit button would have to be set in php when the page is loaded, it is not going to be set until the button is clicked so your if statement is not going to ever be true.

So is it possible to make a button refresh another frame after submision?
