Well I am coding a simple Chatting script, and I have run into a problem with getting the chat body (where it shows the msgs) to reload after a user submits a message to it. Anyway the structure of my page is the following:

Main Window, with my site navigation, etc.
chat --> Iframe in the main body of the page.
chat_gateway.php --> Contains the frames:
frameset
frameset
chat_body --> Contains the msgs,
chat_members
/frameset
chat_send --> Contains the submitting script
/frameset
Now, I decided to have the onload in the chat_send frame, so that when the body of it loads, it triggers the chat_body frame to reload, what code would I put in the onload="CODE" in the chat_send frame?
*Has tried searching Google extensively but none of the things work, thinks its due to the use of that IFrame*

Try something like:

Code: 
<body onload="parent.frames['otherFrameName'].location = parent.frames['otherFrameName'].location.href;">

'hope that helps.

No, it doesn't work... What would I do to call the history.go(0) on that frame?

I wrote 'otherFrameName' but it should probably be 'otherFrameId' In other words, the ID of the FRAME should be called, not the NAME.

If that doesn't make it work, consider changing:

parent.frames['otherFrameName'].location

...to:

parent.frames['otherFrameName'].document.location

...in both places it's used.

If those don't work, anything I could say about using history.go(0) is not likely to work either.

Can you post the HTML of the frameset so I can have something to play around with?
