I have a web app that uses framesets. Top is a menu for the application consistenting of just buttons. Lower left side is a menu specific to the subset of the application. And, the main frame (lower right) is the content and forms depending on source.
Issue in a nutshell: The menu on the left has three sections. First is a list of all documents currently being edited. The second section is all documents submitted for review. The last section is all documents pending approval. When the link from any section is clicked, the document in the main frame changes for editing/review. Person can then edit the document and submit from the main frame. The submit will either save the document and leave it in it's current section or it will be saved and upgraded to the next section. This all works great but the menu on the left is not refreshed to show the move from one section to the other (i.e. document moved from edit section to pending review). I have client side java scripting in left menu frame that will reload the page tied to a graphic but it needs to be manually clicked. Would really like the button in the main frame to complete its code (running queries to update recordsets) and then cause the left frame to reload to show the changes.
Been looking around and only finding people doing Onload client side events in Java as workarounds. Anybody know of anything more efficient?
