Re: How to make EmbPerl stuff new content into a existing frame?
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? No you can't do this, but you can say in your form form action=".." target="frame", so the cgi script will displayed on the whole screen, when the cgi does the redirect, it will request the frame page Gerald

TIA, I missed part of this thread somewhere along the way, so sorry if I'm re-covering old ground here... I assume that dumping the frames altogether is not an option for you. Sounds like what you need to do is have the log-in form aimed at target _top, to reload the whole frameset. The frame-set page would may have to be an Embperl page, (or be otherwise output dynamically to decide what to load into each frame and possibly send params to the in-frame pages) which would in turn load the correct pages (Embperl or not) into the two frames. Another option would be using Javascript to control what page gets put into what frame, as I believe someone else mentioned. Hope that helps.

This link in a regular HTML file does the trick but I don't want the user to have to hit a link to make this happen. A HREF="/test.epl?TestVar=1" TARGET="index"Update Frame/A Can anyone tell me how to do this? I never did this myself but I think you should look at your favourite Javascript documentation for this. Something about a BODY onload="..." in the first frame and a call to the "open" method of your second frame should do. I don't know if you can choose the frame for your output with Embperl or any other serverbased language for that matter, since the browser requests a page and displays it at the appropriate place.
