a4j:how to rerender a componet from another iframe?

[ning zhu]

hi there,

I wonder how to rerender a component, such as tomahawk tree2 with id 'menuTree', which located in one iframe, from the component such as a4j:commandButton located in another iframe. My problem focuses on how to fill the value of the attribute 'reRender' of the 'a4j:commandButton'.

Any Suggestion? thanks in advance.

Yours ZhuNing

The best solution is simply not to use frames. They don't work all that well for this kind of stuff.

Facelets can do most of what frames do and doesn't have the problem of figuring out how to cross-reference what are (as far as the browser's internals are concerned) separate windows.

I'll try it. Thanks, Tim.
