breaking out of frames question, (I ADDED TO POST WITH PICS) code posted

**Virus00110** · Jun 20th, 2003, 08:02 AM

I have a frame page that hase a contents side where the menu is and a main side where everything else is seen. now the one page i go to that is displayed in the main frame is split into two frames one being named topFrame and the other being name bottomFrame. the top frame is for the title and for two buttons that i want to always be on top, which are an add button and a purge old data button and the bottom shows records that are in the database that can be edited and you can scroll up and down in that frame. now when i click on the button to add a new record i want it to fill the main frame which is displaying the topFrame and bottomFrame at this point. how can i break out of the two frames top and bottom and display in the main frame the screen to add a new record when i click the add button that is in the topFrame? I hope this makes sense if not let me know and i will explain it better or put a diagram up to show you what i want. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

post your code for the add button and your frameset please

It's not easy to say what to do without looking on your code, but try to add target="_self" within 'Add' button tags:

Code:

<input type="button" value="Add" onclick="..." target="_self">

if there is no way to get this to work the way i want i will just send that page to the bottom frame. i'm getting to the point where it's just making me mad

because i have worked on it for almost the entire week so if you guys can't figure it out no biggy. this is just my last hope. sometimes it helps to have a lot of brains working on something and you guys always do such a great job answering any other question i have. thanks to all of you i've become much smarter

In first code add (IN RED)

Code:

<form method="post" action="adedsched.asp" target="_top">
	<input type="submit" name="cmdAddSchedule" value="Add Schedule">
	<input type="submit" name="cmdPurge" value="Purge Old Schedules">
	<input type="hidden" name="hAdEdSched" value="add">
</form>
