Re: Multiple redirects from a single action

The best solution is to refresh the entire frameset and provide your new frame URLs that way. The other way is to use JavaScript to set each frame but from experience that really blows. The browser treats each frame URL assignment as a new page so if you change two URLs then the user has to click the back button twice to go back one actual page. It's ugly and nasty. Just do this right - refresh the frameset. (or don't use framesets at all)

__SIG__
use B;
printf "You are here %08x\n", unpack "L!", unpack "P4", pack
  "L!", B::svref_2object(sub{})->OUTSIDE;

I can only improve on what diotalevi said by pointing out that if one frame contains a document that contains a frameset, you can update multiple frames simultaneously by nesting them properly. For example, if the main document looks like this: `<frameset> <frame src="A.html"> <frame src="B.html"> </frameset>` [download] And "B.html" contains: `<frameset> <frame src="B1.html"> <frame src="B2.html"> </frameset>` [download] Then you can reload B1 and B2 by reloading B.

For example, if the main document looks like this:

<frameset>
  <frame src="A.html">
  <frame src="B.html">
</frameset>
[download]

And "B.html" contains:

<frameset>
  <frame src="B1.html">
  <frame src="B2.html">
</frameset>
[download]

Then you can reload B1 and B2 by reloading B.
