It should be
top.bottommenu.document.location.reload();It should be
top.frames['bottommenu'].location.reload();. location is a property which belongs to the window object and not the document object. Plus you are confusing others by pasting two functions with the same name and different function definitions. Be a bit more concise and clear the next time. I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

Use the
Try
replace function of the location object.Try
top.frames['bottom'].location.replace(bottomURL); or top.frames['bottom'].location.assign(bottomURL); I don't accept change. I don't deserve to live.

Hi,
I have this page called one.asp
So then you see a page who has 2 frames
in the topmenu.asp there is a drop down which has students name
then when you select the name it will display the score for the athlete in top frame
and then in bottom frame it will rank the athlete for his gender
so if u select a male it will show where you rank as compared to other males in the bottom frame
so for me to make that ranking happen i have to transfer the gender to the bottom frame when the
value in drop down is selected
so here is my code
so i found out what the problem is
when you select the value in drop down page is refreshed it finds out the details for the student and
it saves the gender of student in the hidden field
But now say there are 2 students
John Smith
Rachel Doe
When you select John smith for first time in drop down his gender is not there in the hidden field
can someone tell me whats the best way of doing it
if i can get the value of gender in javascript function then i am good to go and the code will work
any ideas
todd
