frames and forms

m3rajk, I've reviewed your question again, and it seems to be related to how to get PHP to render the form information, not a question of how to make an HTML form. Would that be accurate? If so, this is the right forum, but you may want to provide an example url as well as more clarification of what's happening and what should be happening in your estimation.

Sounds to me like the question is "How do you get an HTML form to submit to another frame?" I don't believe this is directly possible, but may be achieved using Javascript.

if you look at the post a third time, please pay attention to what i talk about up until this line:"the page simple reads function elected:

and it's not getting anything from that. the select box is named fn" thatis telling people what the page i am calling with the form does. i have no idea if what that does would cause the issue with the form. but forms suuport the target="" option, which is why i don't understand why it's not displaying in the other page

Baby, I have no idea what you're asking or what you're trying to do.

"It's not getting anything from that" means it should be? Or it shouldn't be?

The whole frame isn't showing up? The select box isn't getting the data?

Example URLs would go a LONG way to solving this problem.

that's my server. if it's down there's eithr another thunderstorm going through the area or my rents turned it off.... i believe i lose the nice server space at brandeis august first. it's too bad. the server is much faster. and the tech is much newer. this is from94.95... i put in a new hd and needed to replace the power supply. that was all. it's a pentium 1 pre-mmx and the hardware can't support a hd over 8 gigs, but the bios gets fooled when using linux with less than 8 gig partitions, but i found that mysql has weird things happen ... like i can enter without a password on any user and it'll give me a warped version of a read-only mode on whatever the user has access to. so the i'm not entirely sure of where issues i have might lie.

i figure if i can get everything working right on this server, then i know it should work anywhere as long as i have php 4.2.2 (the version of php i have) and mysql 3.23.56 (the version i have). like i said, i don't know why it's not going into the other window

PHP is not being parsed, that's the problem, in a nutshell, right? Perhaps because the frameset isn't parsing (.html instead of .php)?

So right off the bat I'm getting the raw directory listing instead of the right information.

Same with the top frame in the frameset and all subsequent documents. PHP doesn't work unless it's parsed? So all the documents should be .php documents, not .html?

He's also got HTML comment tags *within* the tags in the frameset. Is this legal? I've never seen it done before.

i'm trying to getthe html to work right.

i'm not concerned with the php. im'm going to comment that out and change the function reader to a php page to see if that helps.

interestingly enough, mark seemed to have it. the comment inside of the frame call was screwing it up. i thought comments could go anywhere
