automatically submit info w/o hitting the submit button

[cic]

i have set up a page with two frames. the top frame allows you to search for date, course, and state. the results are displayed in the bottom frame.

what i am trying to do is select a specific date, course, and state by hitting a link from a previous page and then have the information automatically pull up in the bottom frame w/o hitting the submit button.

is there a way to do this?

thx

Yes, I am a little unclear iof you meant that the user would choose the values then hit a link, or if the user had already chosen the values and you just want to display a link.

If they have already chosen the values than you can write them into the link and retrieve them using Request.QueryString:

example link: <a href=&quot;mypage.asp?date=01/01/2001&course=201&state=ca&quot; target=&quot;bottomFrameName&quot;>Click me to see info</a>&quot;

and then reading those values would be:
Request.QueryString(&quot;date&quot;) etc

Now if they nee to choose the criteria and then click the link, you may as well use a form and submit button, like so:

<form method=&quot;POST&quot; action=&quot;myPage.asp&quot; target=&quot;bottomFrameName&quot;>   etc

Anyways, hope I covered what you were looking for,

You can use the javascript method Form.submit() to submit a form from wherever you want. I imagine you can do the same thing with client VBS, as well. It sounds like what you're trying to do is appropriate for this kind of clientside operation.
