ok I'm not sure if this is what you want but this was something I played with and it may help you.
There are four pages here. frameset.htm which is the main then frame1 frame2 frame3
what happens is of course you open frameset to test everything
you enter something into the form which is frame2. (can be hidden already with set values)
click submit and it sends the data to frame1 which stores it in var's and after the submit button was submitted it also loaded frame3 into where frame1 was and read the var's from frame1 and printed them to the screen.
that was confusing!
here try it out
<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>frame set</TITLE>
<FRAMESET cols="150,*">
<FRAME src="frame1.htm" name="left_side">
<FRAME src="frame2.htm" name="right_side">
</FRAMESET>
<NOFRAMES>
Use this link to go to a frameless setting if your browser does not support frames.

I may not get it the 1st or 2nd time,
but how sweet that 15th time can be.
