The frameset uses the url of the same CGI script which printed out the frameset as the src of its frames (hence the multiple calls to the same CGI), except it gives it parameters which tell the CGI to print different content.

Re: CGI and frames
I would like to create a html frameset plus the pages for the frameset. In the top frame should go the menu (which is now displayed in a table at the top of the page), below that the pages the user creates by clicking on the button. Until now I have not found out how to fill the frameset with the pages. (I know how to create the frameset and the different pages via CGI, but do not know how to put it all together) Normally a frameset looks (as you all know) somewhat like that: Now I do not know/understand, how to replace the src="path/to/file" with the corresponding sub (i.e. sub menu) :( Thanks for your help, Sven On Wednesday, May 15, 2002, at 12:31 AM, John Brooking wrote: > Okay, I understand now.

Re: CGI and frames
Okay, I understand now. I guess you *could* do it with "one script", although as someone else noted, it is basically separate scripts, called once per page, that just happen to be stored in the same file. Whether you store it in one script or separate is immaterial, IMHO.

Re: CGI and frames
Sorry, I chose the wrong words..
my script works similar to the way you described below. Depending on
which fields are filled out and which button is pressed, a different
subroutine is called, creating the page.

RE: CGI and frames
> I'm using one CGI script to generate several search pages
That's impossible. One call to a cgi script can generate only one page.
Consider the following untested ;) (but simple enough that I probably
didn't screw it up) code:
--code--
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use CGI;
my $cgi = new CGI;
# this line saves the url of the
# currently running CGI script
my $me = $cgi->script_name;
# this is declared as 'our' so
# you can use it in your subs
# without passing it each time
our %F = ();
# this saves a copy of the form
# vars passed to your CGI script
# in an easily accessible hash
for($cgi->param()) {
$F{$_} = $cgi->param($_);
}
# this section calls different subs
# (which print different HTML)
# based on the value of a parameter
# passed to the script.
# print_frameset() is the default
# which gets called if param(page)
# isn't defined or is eq ''
if(not defined $F{page} or
$F{page} eq '') {
print_frameset();
} elsif($F{page} eq 'main') {
print_main();
} elsif($F{page} eq 'nav') {
print_nav();
} elsif($F{page} eq 'data') {
print_data();
} else {
$F{page} =~ s/[^a-z]//g;
print_error();
}
sub print_frameset {
print qq^
example frameset
^;
}
sub print_main {
print qq^This is my MAIN PAGE^;
}
sub print_nav {
print qq^This is my NAV PAGE^;
}
sub print_data {
print qq^This is my DATA PAGE^;
}
sub print_error {
print qq^Unsupported page [$F{page}]
requested^;
}
--code--
That code generates four html pages (possibly including an error page or
two), but it gets called four times. Sorry if I'm explaining something
you already understand, but this is essential.

An adaptation of the above example should work for you.

Re: CGI and frames
Sorry,here are the details: I'm using one CGI script to generate several search pages (search for people etc) within a secured area. I would like to put the navigation sub into one frame, the retrieved data (sub search1,2...)in another frame. But I do not want to use an extra script for this. Hope this explains it a little bit better..

Re: CGI and frames
If you mean can a CGI script output both the frameset and all of its pages simultaneously, I don't see how. What you can do is have each frame call a CGI script for its content, and have another to generate the frameset. Each script then outputs its own HTML as normal. If this doesn't address your issue, I think we'll need a little more detail. - John --- Sven Bentlage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi ! > Right now I'm using a cgi-script to create a few > html pages. > Somewhere I read the I also can create framesets > plus the dependent > html pages via a CGI script. > > Where can I find a manual on how to do that?

Hi ! Right now I'm using a cgi-script to create a few html pages. Somewhere I read the I also can create framesets plus the dependent html pages via a CGI script. Where can I find a manual on how to do that? Or can anybody tell me? Thanks for your help. Sven -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
