framed ASP

[MetallicaD]

Ok.. have an html page with a search txtbox.. on submit I want to go to a page that has a frameset in it.. I need 1 banner frame on top and the bottom half of the screen should be split 10%-90% vertically (TOC on left, search results on the right)... How do i get from that search submit into a frameset and then display my search results (gernerated from serverside logic based on the search criteria)?

I have worked around this already by just always using the frameset and having the search form be in the window that I want the results to end up.. but is there a way to target your response.writes to a particular frame?

When I've done this sort of thing I've made the frameset container page be an ASP and I pass the values I need passed through this page. Inside the frameset ASP I generate the URLs to the member pages of the frameset and create a querystring URL for the ASP that ultimately needs to recieve the values. Your flow might go like this:

1. HTML page with the form is submitted

2. ASP that is the frameset container page receives the form submission and while outputting the FRAMESET tags builds the URL for the search submission ASP such that the submitted data is passed to the submission ASP via querystring.

3. The banner page displays from withing the frameset layout.

4. The search results ASP displays output based on the search criteria it received via querystring from the frameset container page.
