cross browser form submission to target layer

[dwaters770]

Dear All,

Okay, so we've all managed to target a different frame with a form submission.

But how do I fill a layer with the contents of a form submission instead of it going to the main window.

I have a popup dialog box (layer with form on it) which contains fields for entering data in to. When the user submits the form I would like the results to be displayed in the same layer. This should be cross browser compatible.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks alot!

David

It seems to me that this is entirely dependent on the form processing script. The Perl/C/PHP/whatever script likely consists of a bunch of print or echo statements which format the input values into a return html page for the client. If you manipulate these statements, you can place the data anywhere you like prior to the page being sent to your viewer, namely, that particular layer.

Good luck,

yes, as sophisticate says, it depends on the langage(s) you are using, and also, on what your form is supposed to do (i mean, if you can keep it client side or if you have to ask the server)
