@szn00bularauthorMay 15.2005 — Could anyone give me an example of how you would use this? I don't see how it fits into that function. ?

@JPnycMay 15.2005 — I think he means target="frameName" inside the form tag.

@CharlesMay 15.2005 — And you'll need to use the transitional DTD:<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

This doesn't work, the frame is in a differen't html file, and neither does it work when using IFRAMES in the same file.

@CharlesMay 16.2005 — The FORM element requires an "action" attribute.

See http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/interact/forms.html .

The action is in the JavaScript, there's no server side scripting going on, this doesn't help at all.

All I need to know is how to make the FTP directory load into one of the frames.

@szn00bularauthorMay 16.2005 — So it's impossible to make a page load in an IFRAME by clicking a button? This seems very unlikely.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@CharlesMay 16.2005 — It is quite possible as I indicated above. But you are trying to make a JavaScript dependant page and that is very bad.

Success!
