Rather than instructing the user to refresh their browser, you could accomplish the same thing with a link targeted at the results page's frame. That would make the browser re-fetch the results page in place it in the same frame again--essentially the same as a refresh, but with more control over what gets refreshed (just a frame, not the whole frameset). If you use this technique, then I suggest you add a meta expiration tage to your results page so that it does not get cached; otherwise the link would just load the cached version; but with the meta tag the user's browser will *always* get a fresh copy.
You can accomplish all of this in a little more seamless, more sophisticated way using JavaScript, but I don't like relying on JavaScript. - Vieth > -----Original Message----- > From: kpraoasp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 1:55 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [ASP] Frames in ASP > > > > > Thanks John.
