Result in frame, not in window

Hi,

Any help woul be appriciated to help me with the following: the javascript beneath creates a HTML docement with search results. The results will be wriiten in a new document, in a new popup window. However I tried, I did not succeed to show the search results in a frame. My document has two frames, in the frame “Left”is the searchbox, I would like the serach results to appear in the frame “Head”.

Thanks,

Gert-Jan

@Khalid_AliSep 02.2003 — You need to direct the out put to the frame not to the window

win = window.open("","","scrollbars");

in the line above you create new window and then print data in that windows document

win.document.write(page);


What you should do is target the frame something like this

win = parent.frameName;

and thats about all the changes you should need to make ,rest of the code in your script should work as it is.
