Troubles loading from a form into a frame…

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

function search() {
var target=0;
{
target=parent.frames[2];
document.tool.action=’http://domain.com/cgi-bin/wcx.pl‘;
document.tool.method= ‘post’;
document.tool.submit(target);
return(true);
}
}

Everytime it loads in the frame the function is called from. I want it to load to a different frame. I’m no java expert here, just learning as I go. I figure this has to be an easy fix but I have checked all kinds of references and got nothing.

Please help, thanks in advance.

  • 1. Never use predefined variables such as target, or in some cases searhc, as names for variables of functions.


  • 2. the parent of the form is the frame that it is in.


  • 3. You only need one set of curly brackets.


  • 4. If you don't want your variable to be an integer then don't set it equal to 0.


    • You can do parent.parent to make it the parent of the frame. Or you can do the smarter thing and use top.

    function mySearch() {
    var tar=null;
    tar=top.frames[2];
    document.tool.action='http://domain.com/cgi-bin/wcx.pl';
    document.tool.method= 'post';
    document.tool.submit(tar);
    return(true);
    }

    @ahab71authorApr 19.2006 — Thanks for the feedback.

    Unfortunately that isn't doing the job, it still loads in my top frame and not my lower frame.

    I have the window with two frames, upper and lower. I'm trying to get the function to load the information in the lower frame which is frame[2]. but it still loads in the upper frame which is frame[1].

    I'm wondering if my mistake is using a variable to designate the location...

    Thanks again,

    Any other information would be great.
