javascript thread: Problems when submitting forms to specific target frames


Message #1 by amandi@f... on Tue, 26 Feb 2002 13:59:16
Hello Everybody in this forum: 
I have a 3 Frame-Page on which in frame1 I have a list of forms , that are 
supposed to be submitted to frame2 (ASP-document) and frame3 (ASP-
Document). When submitting one form from frame1, access-database data is 
displayed in frame2, which itself is a set of forms that are submitted to 
frame3. 
Everything works out well...only when I submit a form AGAIN from frame1 
AFTER having submitted one from frame2, the targetwindow (frame2) cannot 
be found again, and is opened in a new window. It seems as if I sent the 
forms somewhere?? where the thread in the parentframeset cannot be 
followed any more. 
Maybe I have a completly wrong syntax, but everything seems to be 
allright. The submition code looks like this:

(DaWolf is a variable that figures which form to submit)

document.forms[DaWolf].action="frame2_dm.asp" ;
document.forms[DaWolf].target="frame2"; // Open in frame2 
document.forms[DaWolf].submit();

document.forms[DaWolf].action = "../Steckbrief.asp" ; 
document.forms[DaWolf].target = "MeinFenster"; // Open in a new window 
document.forms[DaWolf].submit();

Can anyone help, suggest a solution...or is the whole thing hopeless.

Thankx to anybody interested in this problem 

Kind regards 

Christopher
