Re: Refresh problem

Thanks for your reply.

IMO, a refresh from the toolbar should repaint each page within each
frame. If there is a frame containing a frame, then it should recursively
repaint the pages.

Now does IE know what is the URL of each page ? The answer is
yes because when I right click on each page and look up the
Properties option, it shows the page's URL.

So IE has the information to repaint the pages. But it is not doing that.
So my question is what exactly does a refresh do ? What is the definition
of a refresh ?

The refresh button refreshes the URL in the address bar. So IE grabs that
page again which has the original frameset, which points at the login page.

Incidentally, I would like to add that if the first page (containing the
frameset) is a jsp, then a refresh from the second page ("after-login
page") shows the first page. However, if the first page is an html, then a
refresh from the second page shows the second page.

Note that I am using Struts, so I don't know if it is adding to the
problems.

I have no experience of jsp or Struts, but I have plenty of ASP experience.
I've just tested here with a frameset that includes ASP pages, and
refreshing individual frames works fine. I can only guess that your "after
login" page does a redirect to the "login" page if it's refreshed, possibly
due to some sort of session variable being reset.
