how to set target frame?

[raulgh]

Hi all:

Can someone tell me how to make a navigation frame? I have a left frame which contains several submit buttons on it and I want that when I click some button, something will happen on the right frame. The left frame, however, will remain unchanged.

The submit button code is like is:
<input type = submit style=&quot;height:30px;width:150px&quot; name= cmdRecentMsg value = &quot;Recent Message&quot; onclick =&quot;createMsg(1);&quot; />

There is a hidden input &quot;Msg&quot; on the left panel which will be passed to the right frame.

creatMsg() is a JAVA script function:

function createMsg(num)
{
if (num ==1)
document.forms.frmSearch.Msg.value = &quot;RecentMsg&quot;;
}

The problem I have is when I click the button, changes was made on the left frame instead of the right frame. This is not what I want. I think It has something to do with the target frame, but I really don't know how to use it. Can someone pls clarify this for me? Thanks a lot.

Try <form target=&quot;foo&quot;> where foo is the name of your targeted frame.

Hope it helps,
