I found how to update a one frame while in other frame.
I had not clear concept of Document Object Model(DOM) of JavaScript.
but now after a reading the DOM in detail it was just easy.
To help others how are looking for something similar i am posting some code.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
main.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN//3.2">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Main Page</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET COLS="0%,*">
<FRAME NAME="left" SRC="left.html" SCROLLING="AUTO">
<FRAME NAME="right" SRC="right.html" SCROLLING="AUTO">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
left.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<head>
<title>Auto Reload</title>
<?php
echo "<script language=\"JavaScript\">";
echo "var new_message;";
// Connect to database and query the table
// Process to see if new message has occured
if($new_message)
{
echo "new_message = true;";
}
else
{
echo "new_message = false;";
}
?>
function move()
{
if(new_message == true)
{
top.frames[1].document.getElementById('TextToUpdate').innerHTML = "You got a new message";
}
window.location = 'left.html'
}
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="timer=setTimeout('move()',25000)">
</body>
---------------------------------------------------------------------
right.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> Page i really want to update </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<a id="TextToUpdate"> </a>
</BODY>
</HTML>
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
PS: if some one still do not get it then i will recommend to read some
thing about DOM of javascript.
i hope there are no typos this time!!
thanks again for helping.
regards,
