CGI/Javascript coordination - Problem specifying targets in other windows for on-the-fly c

I have implemented this when loading html docs:
First window has frames. Link in a frame creates a new window and loads it with a html doc. Link in 2nd window, closes 2nd window and loads a new html doc into a different frame in the first window. see:
http://www.connex-electronics.com/_private2/frame_doc.html
Problem is this. How do I do the same when I am trying to load on-the-fly pages generated by cgi. When I am doing a straightforward on-the-fly page load, I use a form, specify the target and the returned doc goes where its suppossed to. To get the above scenario to work, I had to drop the target="name" in the links as Internet Explorer would not function properly. So, how do I get the cgi to go to the right destinations? (Problem is to get the on-the-fly from 2nd window to go to the other frame in the first window)

Thanks for any help!

Yikes!

Hopefully, Patrick, Polpus or one of the others will be able to be more helpful here. I'm not a CGI guru just yet, I only know enough to write a few things. Smiling
