rewrite menu in parent frame

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for help rewriting the menu (which is in parent frame) from an iframe.
1) I use the menu to show category structure (parent / child)
2) when on a category edit form and click update (the forms target is the iframe) I want to rewrite the menu so it shows the changes.
I don't need help with "rewriting" the menu - just "how to reload the menu" without reloading the page.

Thanks ...

Hi,

Reloading the menu without reloading the page is possible but can can be quite tricky. However, what I think what you need is the menu API found here: http://www.milonic.com/mm_menueditapi.js

It will allow you to add, edit and delete menus and menu items after the page has loaded and contains its own menu reloading utilities built-in so that you do not need to worry about it.

HTH,
Andy

Hi Andy,
Sorry - I didn't realize you had responded - I was expecting an email I guess if someone responded.
Anyway - thanks ...

I assume you refer to mm_reloadMenu() in the api - is that correct?
If so - I can't get it to work - any clues as to how to?
main menu name is TN5 so am doing parent.mm_reloadMenu("TN5");

any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,

Do you have anything that we can see? Something that you've already done perhaps that we can work on.

not really
It's in an admin only area.
Plus you wouldn't be able to see the forms action page as it's in a hidden iframe target.
But if you could post some example code I'm confident that I could make it work IF it's possible to do such a thing.
So since my menus name is "TN5" - what function would I call? - I've tried a few with no luck - and what syntax?
Thanks
