refreshing frames

[Nav]

Hi gang,

I have a page that splits into 3 frames, a top navigation, a left
sidebar, and the middle where all the action is. The middle area then
splits into two frames of its own.

When someone selects a menu option from a drop down box in one of the
middle frames, both the middle frames refresh accordingly. But I'm
curious if there is a way to make the outter frames also refresh. Any
suggestions?

I suspect you will need to have a look at iframes and possibly involve some
JavaScript. It's possible. If your site is not too big and complex, the
design is also worth overhauling. Frames of any kind are notorious.

Good luck,
