I have a focexec that has in the stylesheet the following command:
type=data,column=n1,focexec=updateemp(emp_id='&emp_id),$
this line of code updates the focus database...how can I get the focexec to refresh in the html painter dashboard I created after the database is updated without recalling the entire html page. I just want to refresh the frame called 'report1' ...thanks

I think Javascript will be the way to go.

You can ask the called fex to click the Run button on your report page to refresh the iframe with the updated data.

Something like this:

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<BODY ONLOAD=window.parent.document.getElementById("form2Submit").click();></BODY>
</HTML>
-HTMLFORM END

What about adding the following code at the end of the fex that's updating the database:
(assuming that the fex that's updating the database is executed in another iframe on the same page
and maybe you have to add a timestamp at the end of the url to make sure the request is not read/retrieved from the browser's cache)

-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<script>
  parent.document.getElementById("report1").src = parent.document.getElementById("report1").src;
</script>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END

You can control the call to the update by setting how long between calls.

e.g.
<html>
 <head>
  <script type="text/javascript">
   <!--
    function funLoopedSubmit() {
        var _Output = document.getElementById('output') ;
        _Output.value = new Date() ;
        setTimeout("funLoopedSubmit();", 1000);
    }
   //-->
  </script>
 </head>

 <body>
  <input type="button" value="Start" onclick="funLoopedSubmit();">
  <br>
  <input type="text" name="output" id="output">
  </form>
 </body>
</html>

here's the code I used to get this to work:
-HTMLFORM BEGIN
<html>
<script>
  parent.document.getElementById("report5").src = parent.document.getElementById("report5").src;
  //Begin function refreshrpt
//function refreshrpt () {
var myrefresh= parent.document.getElementById("button8");
var myevent = parent.document.createEventObject();
myrefresh.fireEvent('onclick',myevent);
//}
//End function refreshrpt
</script>
</html>
-HTMLFORM END
-RUN



thanks for your help !!
