Using different forms in frames

[Hans Erik]

I am trying to do this, using custom web publishing, FMP 4 and Claris Home Page:

- a web page with 2 frames

- in one frame, a simple search form is displayed, with a submit button ('find')

- in the other frame, I want the search results displayed as a result table.

Nothing special, but when I hit the submit button, the results are always displayed in the same frame as the search form! Am I doing wrong something or is this something that can't be done?

I have added 'target=xxx' as extra HTML to the submit button, where xxx is the name of target frame, but that doesn't make a difference :-(

Thank for help,

I flipped through my HTML book (HTML, the Definitive Guide, 3rd ed., by Chuck Musciano and Bill Kennedy) and I found the following...

With the advent of frames, it is possible to redirect the results of a form to another window or frame. Simply add the target attribute to your <form> tag and provide the name of the window or frame to receive the results.

Please post if this works!

Yep

It works.

I used the target= attribute in the wrong place. Using it in the FORMAT line has the rigth effect.

Thanks a lot.
