Frames

I have been battling with frames to display output from a database select query. The aim is to have a top page indicating the result of the query (number of names found), a list of names in the left frame which link (<a href > , etc) to a page for each name in the main frame. Thereby, the user can look at individual details for each name without losing sight of the full list of names. I can do a simple link to a new page and 'Back' again but would prefer the list to remain in view. One complication (?), before the search (or on a new search), the page does not use frames. A form collects search criteria then submits output to the frames page. So, I use "if (!submit){ " to check if the form has been completed - if not show it, else do search and set up frames to display. Can anyone point me to a good tutorial or code snippet. I have searched PHPBuilder, DevShed, WeberDev, Zend, etc but with little success. Thanks Mick Lloyd mjl@consultingrooms.com Tel: +44 (0)1684 560224
