This is not possible with PHP alone. You need to use some client side code such as JavaScript or Flash.
I would recommend JavaScript. It would be pretty easy to accomplish what you are talking about with that. Grab yourself a copy of "JavaScript the Definitive Guide" by Orielly. It's pretty comprehensive. -----Original Message----- From: ascll [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 1:44 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP] How to "smart refresh" php section using iframe?
