Check out Raven's Who is Where block as an example.

Thanks for the reply... But there are no buttons in this block... And I still don't know how to make a button, that after I press it will refresh the block with the proper info... For example:

the Block is showing PC Games' premiers... And After I press the button XBOX the block refreshes with the XBOX Games' premiers...

I hope you know what I mean... Smile

Yep I guess I do what I was getting at with that is the refresh is automated. But you could use a java button with the action refresh action something like this:
<input type="button" onclick="javascr+pt:location.reload();">
It will still have to be run in an iframe to make it independent of the full page refresh.

I'm sorry for bothering you... But I've never used such buttons... Can you please write where should I put the function I want to call... from the premiers module... Or maybe when I use this button I won't have to make a module... and put everything in a block... Can you write a simple function for me to look, that will refresh the block... Smile

Thanks for your time... Smile

Maybe someone can help... I really need to know how to do it... Maybe a tutorial or a manual or something like that... where I can learn how to do such buttons... Please I really need it... Smile

<form>
<input type="button" value="Refresh" onclick="javascr+pt:location.reload();">
</form>

Something like this running in a I-Frame in your block. The button would have to be on the page being opened in the frame.

I tried adding the Iframe... and the button... But all I see in the block after adding it, is a white square... and I don't see the button here's how the code looks like:

Code:




$content .= "<iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\"><DIV STYLE=\"overflow: auto; align=center width: 200px; height: 150; border-left: 0px gray solid; border-bottom: 0px gray solid; 


border-right: 0px gray solid; border-top: 0px gray solid; 


padding:0px; margin: 0px\"><form><input type=\"button\" value=\"XBOX\" onclick=\"javascript:location.reload()\">";

Maybe I should change something...

And I was also wondring, if I'm doing it right... Because I wan't to add not only one button to this block but 5... XBOX, PS2, PS, GC, And PC... and I don't know how to modify the button to refresh the block with the info from function XBOX, or PS2 and so on... Do I need a different button... Or maybe I should use something else... ??
