HTML Web Form Submit Button

Expand Post »
Hello.

I have a table with 1 cell and 1 row and in it I have a name and comment section with a submit button and reset button. To the right I have an IFrame that is linked with a .cgi file displaying all the posted comments and it does show. My files all worked fine before, I just decided that I wanted the posting to display to the right in a frame on the same page.

How can I get my submit button, or button to have its action and post not open a new window, but write to the .cgi file and display the comments to the frame on the right

I can't figure it out, it keeps opening up in a new window and will not open in the frame to the right

So I need the file to write the comments and name without opening a new window and update and display in the frame to the right.

Any ideas?

Hi Amie,

To achieve what you want, I think you would have to go AJAX or JS... Try posting in that section, pretty sure they will be more than happy to help you.
