frames, form, come up in same page

[thunderain]

Hi:

Can anyone help me. My opening page has three frames. When i type a number into the box and click on the Search button, I want the results to apear in the same page in the main body area (frame called "main information", page called "indexbody.html&quot. Instead the page opens in a new pop up window. I have looked over the FAQ's, they seem to tell me just to add an onClick to the button. I tried 3 examples which don't seem to work. Am I missing something?

onClick="parent.lower.location.href = 'indexbody.html;'
onClick="parent.main information.location.href='indexbody.html'"
onClick="parent.window.location.href="indexbody.html"'


Here is my form code:

<form action=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot; target=&quot;main information&quot; onSubmit=&quot;search(this); return false;&quot;>

<td height=&quot;29&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot; width=&quot;118&quot;>
<div align=&quot;left&quot;>
<img src=&quot;images/search3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;90&quot; height=&quot;29&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;srchval&quot; value=&quot;&quot; size=&quot;10&quot;>
<input type=&quot;image&quot; img src=&quot;images/gobutt.jpg&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;25&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.main information.location.href='indexbody.html'&quot;></div>
</td>

</form>

Thank you

could it be the space in ure frame name between main and information?

The frame name shouldn't have a space, so i fixed that.
I think the problem is in this function. I don't quite see how to get it pointing to a frame in the same page rather then opening a new window. Can anyone help?


function search(frm) {



win = window.open(&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrollbars&quot;

win.document.write(page);

txt = frm.srchval.value.split(&quot; &quot;

fnd = new Array(); total=0;

for (i = 0; i < item.length; i++) {

fnd = 0; order = new Array(0, 4, 2, 3);

for (j = 0; j < order.length; j++)

for (k = 0; k < txt.length; k++)

if (item[order[j]].toLowerCase().indexOf(txt[k]) > -1 && txt[k] != &quot;&quot

fnd += (j+1);

}



for (i = 0; i < fnd.length; i++) {

n = 0; w = -1;

for (j = 0;j < fnd.length; j++)

if (fnd[j] > n) { n = fnd[j]; w = j; };

if (w > -1) total += show(w, win, n);

fnd[w] = 0;

}



win.document.write(&quot;</table><br>Total found: &quot;+total+&quot;<br></body></html>&quot;

win.document.close();


}



function show(which,wind,num) {

link = item[which][1] + item[which][0];

line = &quot;<tr><td><a href='&quot;+link+&quot;'>&quot;+item[which][2]+&quot;</a> Score: &quot;+num+&quot;<br>&quot;;

line += item[which][4] + &quot;<br>&quot;+link+&quot;</td></tr>&quot;;

wind.document.write(line);

return 1;

}


<form action=&quot;javascript:void(0)&quot; target=&quot;main information&quot; onSubmit=&quot;search(this); return false;&quot;>


<td height=&quot;29&quot; valign=&quot;top&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot; width=&quot;118&quot;>
<div align=&quot;left&quot;>
<img src=&quot;images/search3.jpg&quot; width=&quot;90&quot; height=&quot;29&quot; border=&quot;0&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;srchval&quot; value=&quot;&quot; size=&quot;10&quot;>
<input type=&quot;image&quot; img src=&quot;images/gobutt.jpg&quot; align=&quot;absmiddle&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;25&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; onClick=&quot;parent.frames[&quot;main information&quot;].location = 'indexbody.html'&quot;></div>
</td>
</form>

Hi Thanx everyone, I got it working

1. Replaced these two lines:

win = window.open(&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;,&quot;scrollbars&quot;
win.document.write(page);

With:

win = parent.frames[&quot;main information&quot;]
win.document.write(page)

2 Next, took out this line:

win.document.close();


It was a simple as that.
I could still use &quot;main information&quot; with the space as long as I had it in square brackets [&quot;main information&quot;].
