Frame Problems

[tlhawkins]

I hate frames. This is the first time that I have been unable to talk people out of using frames. So I am stuck with them.

Someone else wrote the pages with frames and I am supposed to add the forms and ASP.

Here is the Frameset:

<frameset border=&quot;0&quot; frameborder=&quot;no&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot; rows=&quot;101,*&quot;>
  <frame name=&quot;top&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;top.html&quot;>
  <frameset border=&quot;0&quot; cols=&quot;123,*&quot; frameborder=&quot;no&quot; framespacing=&quot;0&quot;>
    <frame name=&quot;left&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;left.html&quot;>
    <frame name=&quot;main&quot; noresize src=&quot;main.htm&quot;>
  </frameset>
</frameset>

So the problem is:
left.html loads pages into frame &quot;main&quot; from frame &quot;left&quot; it works fine until it loads on of my forms which calls the database and whatnot, then when my form is copletely done I reload main.htm into fram &quot;main&quot;.  Once that is done left.html will no longer load pages into fram &quot;main&quot; they all load into a new browser.

Any ideas what could be causing this, or a way to fix it?

Thank you for your time.

This line of code:

<frame name=&quot;left&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;no&quot; src=&quot;left.html&quot;>

is missing the TARGET attribute. It needs to read like:

<frame name=&quot;left&quot; noresize scrolling=&quot;no&quot; target=&quot;main&quot; src=&quot;left.html&quot;>

HTH,

I hoped and I hoped, but it didn't fix it. It still opens pages in a new window once the form has been submited. Do I need to tell the form to submit to target=&quot;main&quot; or is that allowed? The frameset works fine until a form is submited and then it all falls apart.

it fixes it of course to refresh the entire page, but I was hoping to avoid that.

Thanks for helping...
Any other possibilities?
