Can you determine which frame a cgi script was called from?

Is there any environment variable or anything else you can use in a cgi script to determine which frame the script was called from? I know you can use things like HTTP_REFERER to figure out the referring link, but it doesn't have anything about the frame.

You can define a variable in the HTML which indicates the frame. This info does not have to appear on the screen but it will be embedded in the stream of data to the server which the cgi script can read. It will be up to you to coordinate the frame info in the HTML. I believe they call these variables &quot;hidden&quot;. Do you need an example?<br>
