Hi Ashish,

I agree with Matt that you can do this via a javascript code snippet. For
example:
If we can a page which contain a iframe as below:
<iframe id="frmSub" src="inner.aspx" />

then, in the "inner.aspx", we can use the following javascript code to make
the parent(container) page be posted back:

window.parent.document.forms[0].submit();
or
window.parent.document.FormName.submit();

Either is ok. However, one thing should be noticed is that when call such
code to make the parent page be posted back, when the parent page is posted
back and refreshed, the iframe inner page will also be refreshed. Thanks.
