Submit from multiple frames

[tbubbs]

Hi,
I have a page that is set with four frames. the 2nd and 3rd frame needs to submit info to a submission page. I have a submit function that will allow me to submit the info from the 2nd frame, but does not go into the 3rd frame. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Terri

yes, you can use the submit() function to automatically submit a form

so, if your 3rd frame is called, say, third_frame, and the form in it is called second_form, (and i suppoose you only have 2 levels of frame), you can submit it by calling :
top.third_frame.second_form.submit()

now, calling it from the second frame (when submitting) ...
<form ... onsubmit=&quot;return your_validation_function()&quot;>
...
</form>
and don't forget this line in &quot;your_validation_function()&quot;
top.third_frame.second_form.submit()

but i'd suggest you'd better NOT do it ... it's better to do things one by one, and maybe you should re-think the design of your site ... if both forms NEED to be submitted at the same time, why don't you make them only ONE form ? if they are not related, why would you submit them at the same time ? often, when thinking more, you come to an easiest solution ...
