I have a frame layout with parameter controls on the left side page and the report showing
up in the right side frame. I'd like to have a refresh button on the controls page to efresh the report.

Does anyone have some ideas on how I'd do this from a refresh button? Do I use some function or subroutine to grab the name of the report sitting in the display frame? Or do re-execute the report fex to have the report redisplay?

Thanks

Any Ideas please?

Your parameter control frame has a Submit button? The Refresh button should do the same thing, non?

Well, I am actually doing the ESRI/GIS maps with WebFOCUS, and I could use an option to refresh a map in the display frame.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but I thought that
the submit button would rerun the same fex,
but I see your point that I would need to rerun the fex applying a new layer to the map...if this is the case, I would make my parameter selections via the controls and hit submit / refresh to apply the map inbound layers.

Oui?

I think so. It has been a couple of years since I worked with the GIS adapter.

Perhaps you could try something similar to this.
 
<form action="#">
<div>
<input type="button" value="Refresh!" onClick=" parent.frames["otherFrame'sName"].location.reload()"></input>
</div>
</form>

Be sure that the other frame exists and has a `location' property that
refers to an object that has a reload() method to be called, using feature
tests.

Tom,

Provided that your frame has the full url in the browser history then you could include an anchor tag in the heading / footing of any report you load into the frame to include the code -

<a href="javascript:history.go(0)">Refresh</a>

That should do the trick for you.
