I have a site that has frames *no I am not looking for flames in this posting* :) and on one of the pages a link pops out of the frame to utilise the entire space available on the screen.

that link has a submit button which goes to a fill out form. is there:

1. anyway to make it so that the fill out form is part of the original frame, ie: to tell the submit button to load it in the frame window instead of in the _blank window that is currently up.

when the submit button is click the _blank window would dissapear and the user would see the form to fill out in the original frames window.?

Most Sincerely,

Hi Mitch,

This is actually a client-side issue. If you look up some JavaScript resources, you'll find it's pretty simple to accomplish.

Look for the window object, its open and close methods, and also opener and frames properties.

Good luck!
