One idea I had to do this from within PHP was to define the nav frame as a function which would be called based on the actions in the main window. The nav frame function would use the target elements to send their output to the correct frame. Have not tried this yet so I am not sure that would work. Have not been able to think of any other way to do it from PHP. -- Scot L. Harris <webid@cfl.rr.com>
