How totarget 2 frames in a form instead of oneframe?

[ale77]

Hi, I have 2 questions!
I have a page with 3 frames, one of the frames has a form and I want that when I submit the form it loads another page in the current frame (which I did with TARGET from the form) , and another page in the other frame. I have no idea how to change the second frame with the other page.

The second question is how can I pass the info of one form (I have a form with hidden values) to another different page that will have another form.

Is this too complicated????? help

so you want to submit the data to two frames? both frames will be using the form data?

Thanks mwolf00! That worked fine.
About the question from jemminger, I think I will need it for both frames.

 

[jemminger]

if you need the data in both frames, you need to submit to both:

function doSubmit(form) {
form.action = &quot;firstForm.asp&quot;;
form.target = &quot;firstFrameName&quot;;
form.submit();

form.action = &quot;secondForm.asp&quot;;
form.target = &quot;secondFrameName&quot;;
form.submit();
}

<form>
...fields etc...
<input type=&quot;button&quot; onclick=&quot;doSubmit();&quot; value=&quot;submit&quot;/>
</form>

Jeff -

I've never submitted to two places (I've always handled that situation server-side). Have you actually done this with the same form going to two places?

i've only done this in testing.

I have no clue how to use asp. Is there any other way to send the data of one page to another? Don't worry about frames.

If you use the method &quot;get&quot; for your form, you will send all of the form fields in the URL. You can retrieve them on the new page using the location.search value....

if the form has two fields (fName and lName) then URL would look something like this...

[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.mySite.com/readForm.htm?fName=John&lName=Doe[/URL]

to get the values you'd do this...

qStr = location.search
//qStr = &quot;?fName=John&lName=Doe&quot;

qStr = qStr.substr(1)
//removed the &quot;?&quot;
//could combine two steps like this...
//qStr = location.search.substr(1)
//qStr = &quot;fName=John&lName=Doe&quot;

qArr = qStr.split(&quot;&&quot
//qArr[0]=&quot;fName=John&quot;
//qArr[1]=&quot;lName=Doe&quot;

fNameField = qArr[0].split(&quot;=&quot[1]
//fnameField = &quot;John&quot;

lNameField = qArr[1].split(&quot;=&quot[1]
//lNameField = &quot;Doe&quot;

Thanks mwolf00!
Your tips were very helpful for me. I'm still working on the hole thing but at least now I solved that little problem. Thanks!!
