[Tutor] Accessing query results html frame

[Karim]

Hello,

In fact as found in the net:

"The concept of browser frames is completely outside the scope of HTTP. 
However, browser frames are defined in HTML, and so is the target 
property on form elements: <form action="/somescript?x=y" 
method="POST" target="_top"> This will make the form submit to the 
_top frame, which means "use the full browser window" "

That means that my post form:

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="/ddts/ddts_main" 
ENCTYPE="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" TARGET="rightframe">

has a target property to make the submit to the 'rightframe'.

Any ideas how I can modified the code (I think the request data or 
whatever) below to access without knowing the temporary html file name 
generically.

Regards
Karim
