Going Down In Frames

Post by virgil »

Hey PhP's :D

I've' read the sticky and know the drill. I know, I know. Frames are trouble. But this is a must have. My problem is I have a form on a lone html page and am trying to submit the info to a form handling php page that resides within a frames page. I tried using

Code: Select all

<form  method="get" action="frames_page.htm" target="left" >
But that just sends the variables to the frames page, not the form handling php page("left"). It does work if the form starts out within the frame_page, but the form is large and has a large map, so a frame is too small to hold the form.

I just need some advice. What's the best way to come at this particular? Sessions? JS? Is it even possible? It almost seems to work. Working by trial and ever is taking me forever. I really just need to...

Code: Select all

<form  method="get" action="frames_page.htm/form_handling.php" target="left" >
I know it dont work dat way. But thats the logic. A pass thru...

Thanks for all your help and kind, gentle, understanding... :roll:

the target has to be the server resource it has nothing to do with the window you want to display the results in ..

the name of the target is your frame id and the action is the php page url ..
