Why does the above behaviour occur? Is it simply that the IFrame is considered in focus, so any refreshes only apply to it? Is there any way to programmatically refresh the whole page, without using JavaScript? I'm aware of adding an HTTP header with a refresh 'Hard refreshing' (CTRL+F5) refreshes the parent page and the IFrame (which is what I want). Pressing the browser's refresh button (F5) only refreshes the error page. The thing is, I can't really provide a link, as there will be values in the source URL that I won't have access to, and the

to throw a new Exception in such an event, which is bubbled up to Application_Error, which redirects to an error page with a suitable error message.Īt this stage, I'd like to be able to auto-refresh the page or give the user a link to re-initialise the IFrame (i.e. If the page posts back (it doesn't matter if the controls that are posting back are put on the page from a master page or if they are in the child page), the iframe will refresh - unless those controls are inside an UpdatePanel. Values are lost, which causes problems when trying to access them. Using a master page does not change my response. After 20 minutes of inactivity, obviously the session The following syntax is work for both cases, where the IFrame is provided & loaded from the same domain, and where the IFrame is not from the same domain. How are we going to make this possible We are going to be finding it in the article. Some features are dependent on session values, which are initialised on the first load of the source URL specified in the tag on the consuming page. Once the user presses the button, he/she needs the IFrame to be reloaded/refreshed.
