Opening in same page with Frames

thunderain · Feb 28, 2002

I hope someone can help me with this. I asked before but i think i didn't give the right info.

I have this working, a site search opening a separate window for results, but I have to have results displayed opening up in the same window in a page with three frames (top, side, main). results need to be displayed in main section titled "main information". ( have also tried "maiininformation", one word without space) I hope i am giving you enough info.

This code works to open results page in separate window, (works fine)

form code:

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

<td height="29" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000" width="118">
<div align="left">
<img src="images/search3.jpg" width="90" height="29" border="0"><input type="text" name="srchval" value="" size="10"> <input type="image" img src="images/gobutt.jpg" align="absmiddle" width="30" height="25" border="0"></div>
</td>

</form>

FUNTION:

page="<html><head><title>Search Results</title></head><body bgcolor='white'><center><table border=0 cellspacing=10 width=80%>";

function search(frm) {

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

;

win.document.write(page);

txt = frm.srchval.value.split(" &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

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("</table><br>Total found: "+total+"<br></body></html>"

win.document.close();

}

===============

I have tried several things. Is it as simple as changing a couple of lines, or do I need to send info to another page? Am I going at it wrong?

This is where i am now, but it does't return anything:

function search(frm) {

win = parent.frames["main information"].location;

win.document.write(page);

txt = frm.srchval.value.split(" "

ETC

OR

function search(frm) {

parent.frames["main information"].location;

document.write(page);

txt = frm.srchval.value.split(" "

ETC

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
thunderain.

Try this:

Assuming main page has frame named "b".
<FRAME NAME="b" SRC="b.htm" SCROLLING=yes FRAMEBORDER=no MARGINHEIGHT=0 MARGINWIDTH=0 NORESIZE>

function changeFrame() {
var total = 100.00;
parent.b.document.open();
parent.b.document.write("<html><head><title>Search Results</title></head><body bgcolor='white'><center><table border=0 cellspacing=10 width=80%>&quot

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

;
parent.b.document.close();

}

Hi Thanx everyone, I got it working

1. Replaced these two lines:

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

;
win.document.write(page);

With:

win = parent.frames["main information"]
win.document.write(page)

2 Next, took out this line:

win.document.close();

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