i don't <br>but i'm not sure it'll be better )<br><br>page1 is in a frame and page1 opens msgwindow<br>msgwindow contains a form<br>i want the form results displayed in the frame in which page1 was<br><br>(something like &lt;form action=&quot;anyurl.htm&quot; target=&quot;the frame of the opener !!!&quot;&gt; - <br>target=&quot;_parent&quot; or target=&quot;opener.name&quot; doesn't work)<br><br>but i managed to do this another way - so if nobody understands what i mean i don't care : my page works fine now ) - but i still wonder if this is possible in the way i wanted it to b<br><br><br><br><br>

I don't think so. I would retrieve the data in the frame where the form is, then place whatever data you retrieved in the 'target' frame<br><br><br><A HREF="mailto:jared@aauser.com">jared@aauser.com</A>

ok ! i could have searched for a while ))<br><br>(the point was that the form was not in ANY frame - it was in a message window i had just opened)<br><br>if anyone cares :<br>actually what i do is that i don't &quot;submit&quot; the form<br>instead of using the action stuff + the input type=submit; i have set a input type=button with onclick=&quot;opener.the_function_i_wanted_to_run()&quot;<br>as opener is in the frame in which i want the result to b displayed, that does the trick<br><br>but maybe nobody needs such a weird thing - as nobody sets such a weird web site ))
