This might be an easy one, but for some reason I can't figure out how to do it. <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wallbash.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wallbash:" border="0" alt="wallbash.gif" /><br /><br />I am developing a web based application in PHP and MySQL. On one of the pages I want to have an iframe to display some information in a grid. I need to be able give the user the ability to add and change information displayed in the iframe by utilizing a pop-up window (I will be using Java of course to handle the pop-up). When the user closes the pop-up window, I need to refresh the iframe to display the changes.<br /><br />How do I get the iframe to refresh when the pop-up window is closed?<br /><br />On a side note, is there anyway to force the pop-up window to be always on top of the parent window similar to the way a Java alert is?<!--content-->
I figured out how to refresh an iframe when you close a pop-up window. I know it was easy, just had to stop and think about it. I just had to put the following in the pop-up window.<!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1--><form><br />Â Â Â Â Â Â <input type="button" onClick="opener.location.reload(); self.close()" value="Close"><br />Â Â Â Â </form><!--c2--></div><!--ec2--><br />Now if I can only figure how to keep the pop-up always on top.<!--content-->
I wonder if <br /><b><!--fonto:Courier New--><span style="font-family:Courier New"><!--/fonto--><body onblur="self.focus();"> <!--fontc--></span><!--/fontc--></b><br />will work<!--content-->
