Hi,
I have a web page with 3 frames. One frames has a form with submit button - the target attribute is understood. When the form is submitted, it triggers a perl cgi programme. Depending on various parameters in the form the perl programme has to decide which frame (all 3 have been named) to send the resulting dynamic html info to. How can I set the frame it will go into from the cgi programme? Presumably I need to overwrite what is in the form's target attribute - but how? Thanks in advance doc

Start here -> http://www.devshed.com/Talk/Forums/Forum6/HTML/000258.html
Window-target is what you needed.

I tried the recommended method with no success. Here is the perl code and the very simple frameset used.
Perl: #! /usr/bin/perl use CGI; print "Window-target:mybotn"; print "Content-type:text/htmlnn"; print "<html>n"; print "<body>n"; print "Hellon"; print "</body>n"; print "</html>n"; exit; Frameset: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <frameset rows="243,244"> <frame src="testtop.htm" name="mytop"> <frame src="testbot.htm" name="mybot"> </frameset> <noframes><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </body></noframes> </html> TopFrame: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <form method="post" action="../cgi-bin/test.pl" target=""> <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </form> </body> </html> Bottom Frame: <html> <head> <title>Untitled Document</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> </body> </html> In practice perl will decide after database check which frame to send html code to. What is wrong?? Thanks, again. [This message has been edited by doc (edited August 04, 2000).]

You don't need to use "Window-target" for your given example, simply specify the target within your <form> tag should be fine.
<form method="post" action="../cgi-bin/test.pl" target="mybot">

Thanks for the suggestion but the poin
t I'm trying to make is that the decision which frame to send the html to has not been made when the form is sent - so setting the target on the form does not help. Info from the form is processed in the cgi programme on the server - this programme then decides which frame the html should go to. Hence the need to change the target for the html from within the cgi programme. Cheers doc

Then you need "Window-target". Once again, your example doesn't do what you mentioned. Okay, start here -> http://home.netscape.com/eng/mozilla/2.0/relnotes/demo/target.html

Hi
I have now found out that target and window-target (sent from a cgi script) only work with Netscape and not I.E. (I know that it works for both when target is used in a form). So, what I was trying to do cannot be achieved i.e. getting the cgi programme to send HTML to one of two frames while leaving the other unaffected - the choice of frame to be sent the HTML being made by the cgi programme -so the form method is not relevant. It would help if someone could confirm this. Thanks doc
