The parent frame will look like this:
<html>
<frameset cols="100%,0%" id="fameSet">
<frame id="content" name="content" src="software.asp">
<frame id="frmcode" name="frmcode" src="tcode.asp">
</frameset>
</html>
The frmcode is not visible, you could change this in any of the frames by:
parent.document.getElementById('fameSet').cols="0%,100%"
<html>
<frameset cols="100%,0%" id="fameSet">
<frame id="content" name="content" src="software.asp">
<frame id="frmcode" name="frmcode" src="tcode.asp">
</frameset>
</html>

parent.document.getElementById('fameSet').cols="0%,100%"

Thanks, harmmeijer, that hid the frame great. Now I only have my results page.
One more question. How can I submit the form automatically if its hidden? I have the following:
<frameset ROWS="0%, 100%">
<frame NAME="queryDefine" SRC="LabAdvqspec.asp?Library=<%=libraryName%>&Policynum=<%=Session("Policynum"
%>" >
<frame NAME="queryResult" SRC="..\redist\utility\white.htm">
</frameset>
The file white.htm is just a placeholder until the user submits the form, and it will be replaced with the results. It seems like if "queryDefine" has a form called "Search", then I could define white.htm (the Results page) as:
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" onload="javascript:document.search.submit();">
</body>
I tried this, but when I run it, I get a Javascript error stating document.search.submit() is null.
But the form was created in the queryDefine frame.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,

just thought I would mention the way I did things with a web application that needed frames to do simple calls to the server.
Just use an Iframe hidden from view
<iframe left="-500" top="-500" width="100" height="100"></iframe>
What do you think of that? Gary Haran

Thanks for your post xutopia,
Will using an iframe allow me to submit my hidden frame?
Thanks for all of your help.
