Let's look at the code:
//var1 and var2 are the search criteria the user entered in your search
form(You may have more or less)
function submitForm(var1,var2) {
//top.leftFrame is how you set the focus to the frame you want. leftFrame
could be different on your system...whatever you named the frame.
//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value=var1 assumes the form name in
the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var1 from your
search form
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text1.value = var1;
//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value=var2 assumes the form name in
the frame you want data in is named
//my_search and it givs the text object text1 the value of var2 from your
search form
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.text2.value = var2;
//top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit() will submit the form in your
target frame then you can use the $_POST values throughout the frame
top.leftFrame.document.my_search.submit();
//document.search_form.submit() will submit your search page. I use this so
I can reuse the $_POST values to display the search criteria after submit.
document.search_form.submit();
}
