I have a frameset with two frames, one over the other. In the top frame i have text boxes and a submit button in a form. How do I send the values in the text boxes in the top frame to variables in the bottom frame?

the code for the top frame currently looks like:

<form name=&quot;frmSearch&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;parent.frames['Bottom'].location='Test.asp';&quot;>
<DIV STYLE=&quot;LEFT: 0px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 200px&quot;>
<table width=&quot;800&quot; align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; bcolor=&quot;white&quot;>
<tr><td colspan=8 class=largeheader>Possible Matches</td></tr>
<tr>
<td class=smallheader>Payee Name</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class=smallheader><input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;txtPayeeName&quot; size=&quot;35&quot; value=&quot;--Search in this row--&quot;></input></td>
</tr>
</table>

</DIV>
<DIV STYLE=&quot;LEFT:208px; POSITION:absolute; TOP:203px;&quot;>
<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Search&quot;>
<input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;txtTableType&quot; value=&quot;Search&quot;>

</DIV>
</form>


And the page that i am posting to is currently:


<%
dim sType

sType=request.form(&quot;TableType&quot;)
sPayeeName=request.form(&quot;txtPayeeName&quot;)

response.write &quot;Value: &quot; & sType & &quot; Payeename=&quot; &
response.end

%>
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>



The frameset is constructed like:


<frameset rows=&quot;275,*&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;MatchFrameTop.asp?<%=sQueryString%>&quot; name=&quot;Top&quot; id=&quot;Top&quot;
frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;auto&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
<frame src=&quot;Test.asp&quot; name=&quot;Bottom&quot; id=&quot;Bottom&quot;
frameborder=&quot;0&quot; scrolling=&quot;Auto&quot; noresize marginwidth=&quot;0&quot; marginheight=&quot;0&quot;>
</frameset>


any help is greatly appreciated.

Instead of altering your action, just set it equal to your filename and put a target in the form tag just as you would in an href. ie:
Code: 
<form name=&quot;frmSearch&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; action=&quot;Test.asp&quot; target=&quot;whatever_the_frame_is_named&quot;>

thanks for the reply. that works but it brings up Test.asp in its own window rather than reloading the bottom frame. Maybe I missed something, here is what I changed:

<form name=&quot;frmSearch&quot;
method=&quot;post&quot;
action=&quot;Test.asp&quot;
target=&quot;parent.frames['Bottom'].location='Test.asp';&quot;>

I get it now.

<form name=&quot;frmSearch&quot;
method=&quot;post&quot;
action=&quot;Test.asp&quot;
target=&quot;Bottom&quot;>


Just like you said. Thanks

Rich
