This link is in frame indxcont and updates frame index.  It works:
<A 
HREF="/login/indxnav1.epl?session_id=[+$session_ID+]&digest=[+$
digest+]"  TARGET="index">

When the user hits the login button, I am calling a CGI script that 
validates the login against a database.  I can't make it have a action 
that loads a HTML page before the script is executed.  Therefore the 
script has to reload the frame with frame pages.  I also need to pass 
values to the frame, as in the example link above.

Can you make a redirection have a "target=frame" and 
"?parameter=value" to do this?
