last two frames of frameset not loading after heavy work in first

Hello everyone,

I could need a little help in some IE-specific problem with frames.

I have written a php application at work which uses 3 frames within the same
frameset (from top to bottom). The upper frame I use as a dummy for
outputting export files for download, the second and third frames hold the
contents.

When someone wants to export into a file, it posts to the index.php where
the frameset is located and pushes the export data via force-download within
the upper dummy frame. The two other frames should load independent from
this frame.

This works in all browsers but IE. The IE pushes that file in the dummy
frame (the upper one in the frameset, it's with height 0), but then remains
blank for at least one of the other frames, sometimes both remaining frames.
The push needs approximately 2 seconds. When I look at the source of the
page I see that the frameset is correctly formed with the correct files to
load for the two frames at the bottom. But it just never loads/gets into
into these files (I have checked this).

Is this a bug in IE which can be worked around or a bug to live with? Some
help would be great.

Thanks in Advance,
Jan

Are you using sessions?

Yes. Sessions. take over the session in all subframes.

I have found some odd workaround:

placing the upper frame with that file push at the bottom.
Works in all browsers I tested (IE,Firefox,Mozilla).

But there should be some other trick with some additional header information
for the browser or so.
