I am trying to refresh another frame while navigating on the menu frame, but it does not work, I have an onclick event for the links, so I simply add top.header.location.reload(); i even removed the first onclick event and it did not work either.

here is the code:
<frameset cols="180,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame src="nav/menu.cfm" name="menu" id="menu" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<frameset rows="50,*" framespacing="0" frameborder="0" border="0">
<frame name="header" src="header.cfm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" noresize>
<frame name="body" src="index.cfm" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0" noresize>
</frameset>
</frameset>

Is it because it is nested, I tested if not nested it works.

Thanks

Sorry, I was not being clear. Both

top.frames['header'].location.reload(); or
parent.header.location.reload();

Reload the page. It was sth else disabled it.
