Refresh only one frame

hi ppl

Iam having a html page with 2 frames. On the top frame i fill in parameters in a text box and click on submit. The data based on these parameters is fetched from the database and displayed in the second frame.

The problem is i dont want the top frame to get refreshed. I want the entered parameters to be present in the top frame.

ne suggestions frnds??

tnx
CHE

In your form tag have:

Code:

 target="<name of frame to show results in>"

Main Frame page A.htm
<frameset rows="50%,8">
<frame src="B.jsp" name="F1">
<frame src="C.jsp" name="F2">
</frameset>

B.jsp

"Data from database will be displayed here"

But i think that there is another issue also here. The data will be retrieved from the database by the GetData.java file. After that GetData.java file will redirect to the Main Frame page A.htm. This means essentially that both B.jsp and C.jsp will be refreshed?? Am i correct?? If so is there a way around this issue..some better flow design perhaps??

Thanks

No, when the form is submitted the values are sent to GetData.java and the results are shown in frame F" replacing the current content (c.jsp). B will remain as is.

Remember me when the revolution comes :)
