iframe
Hi,
I need to submit to the server without leaving the page.
ie; I have a form that collects data and when I hit submit, I don't want it to leave the page... I am not sure how to do it with iframes...
Thanks,
Meera
# 1 Re: iframe
in the form element set the attribute target="myframe".
The result of the submit will then ben shown in the frame name myframe. And the current frame will stay the same.
am not sure how to do it with iframes...
Where does the iframe come in ?.

Can you show me an example? The normal process is:
get information from the form
submit it to the server
and post back to the same page.
I want to avoid the post back to the same page. So, I don't want to leave the page.
Thanks,
Meera

As I said, set the target attribute on the form element
<form target="myframe" action="www.cgi">
<button>hello</button>
</form>
If there is no frame in the current frameset, named myframe, a new window will be created to show the result of the request.

I did the following:
<FORM NAME=frmMainForm ACTION="changepassword.asp" METHOD=POST LANGUAGE=VBScript target=myFrame>
input fields
submit button.
</form>
<div style="visibility:hidden; position:absolute; top:-1000px; left:-1000px">
<iframe id="myFrame" src=""></iframe>
</div>
When I enter information and hit the submit button, it's opening a new window. I don't want that... it has to stay in the same window & update the information in the database.
How do I do that?
thanks,

Yes I already told you this would happen, if there is no frame named myframe in the current frameset. The solution is of course, to put a frame named myframe in the current frame set, ie. on the page.
