Hi,

I have a custom entity with 2 tabs, each tab contain an iFrame linked to a custom pages

I want when I change something in one of the tabs (under iFrame1 for example) to be reflected automatically when I click on the other tab under iFrame2

How do I refresh the other iFrame source?

Or how do i add code when clicking on any of the tab

RE: How to refresh iFrame source

here is a code to Refresh an IFRAME...

var currentLocation = Xrm.Page.getControl("controlname").getObject().contentWindow.location.href; Xrm.Page.getControl("controlname").getObject().contentWindow.location.href = currentLocation;

You can create a Dummy Boolean field which you need to update whenever you are making any changes in any of your IFrames.

Then you need to write a code on the change of this dummy field to Refresh an IFrame content.

Hi,

you might try using HTML5 postMessage, especially if those iframes are loading data from different domains:

RE: How to refresh iFrame source

You can add a button the html webresource to refresh upon onlclick without refreshing the whole page.

You can use the below code:

<html>

<body>

<button onclick="myFunction()">Reload page</button>

<script>

function myFunction() {

location.reload();

}

</script>

</body>

</html>

RE: How to refresh iFrame source

In iFRAME2:

parent.Xrm.Page.getControl("IFRAME1").getObject().contentWindow.location.reload();

Notice the need for parent, as you are doing this inside of a web resource.

You can also create a function called RefreshIFrame on the entity script library, which will refresh the IFRAME:

function RefreshIFrame(iFrameName)

{

Xrm.Page.getControl(iFrameName).getObject().contentWindow.location.reload();

// or you can use the location.href as mentioned earlier

}

Call that function from the IFRAME itself:

parent.window.RefreshIFrame("IFRAME2")

If you have issues calling that function you can add it to the Xrm so that it is visible from within IFRAME (Might not be supported):

Hope this helps.
