I believe in the top frame all you wanted to store was the search text, right? Just have your search link do something like this: <html> <head> <script language="JavaScript"> <!-- function submitForm() { document.search_form.action=' http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html '; document.search_form.submit(); } //--> </script> </head> <body> <form name="search_form" method="post" action=""> <input type="text" name="search_name" value=""> <a href="javascript:submitForm()">SEARCH</a> </form> </body> </html> And then on http://beta.menashalibrary.org/sites/beta.menashalibrary.org/themes/salamander/searchframe.html just assign your posted search value and make a hidden form field. <html> <head> <body> <?php $searched_text = $_POST['search_name']; ?> <form name="my_search" method="post" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="search_text" value="$searched_text"> <table width='800' border='0' align='center' cellpadding='2' cellspacing='2' bordercolor='#000000'> <tr> <td><?php echo "You searched for: ".$searched_text; ?></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html>
