How to direct jsp page to different frame?

ShelBean · Feb 22, 2001

I have a frameset consisting of 3 horizontal frames, the search form being in the center frame.

--------------------
| top frame |
--------------------
| center frame |
--------------------
| bottom frame |
--------------------

From that search form, I have 2 radio buttons to distinguish which type of search the user wants to perform (ID# or LastName). The results of an ID# search appear in the same center frame. However, my problem is that I want LastName search results to appear in the bottom frame.

Preferably, I would like to know how to do this in the servlet. However, any ideas would be appreciated!!

Thank you!

In case anyone else is looking for a solution to this problem:
I ended up using javascript to solve this problem and call it in the <form onsubmit="whichframe()">

function whichframe(){
if (document.forms[0].strSearchBy[0].checked){
document.forms[0].target = "main";
}else if (document.forms[0].strSearchBy[1].checked){
document.forms[0].target = "search";
}else if (document.forms[0].strSearchBy[2].checked){
document.forms[0].target = "search";
}

}
