    That's what the 'target' property of the <form> tag does: the response
    from the request from that form is directed to a different window (or to
    a different frame within the current frameset).  You give the receiving
    window a name (when you create it) and refer to that name in the target
    argument.

Sorry John, I thought this might not be a php issue so I'll do more research on it now.

So I gave my iFrame a name: <IFRAME name="mysite" align="middle" marginWidth="0" marginHeight="0" frameBorder="0" src=" http://www.mysite.com" width="100%" height="9000"></IFRAME> Then on the parent page have a form: <form name="search" method="get" action=" parent.htm" target="mysite">

        <input type="hidden" name="aid" value="6">
        <input type="submit">
    </form>

Can I really specify another target other than _parent, _self, etc?

No, it was a joke. I was kidding. Maybe you will believe the FM: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/present/frames.html#adef-target Remember to post your replies to the list!! --J
