Netscape & Opera - Header: Location when using POST

[gmail2]

I've created a form which uses POST and also specifies the target as an iframe which is hidden from the user. That way because the main page never reloads the user input is never lost and I can give error message back to the user without having to reload the page. I do this by saying if something failes then send Header Location:

http://blah/message.php?code

(I'm using PHP by the way !!)

Anyway, in IE and firefox this works fine - the header is sent to the iframe - however in netscape and opera the header is sent to the parent page rather than the iframe - why is this?

Sorry - forgot to mention. If you use GET instead of POST in the above - the header is returned to the IFRAME instead of the parent window. That's why I'm curious why it behaves this way

I'd say this is more suited to the HTML forum (forum215), or possibly the PHP forum.

Hope this helps,
