Re: Is it possible to output to an open web page?

That is becoming how the most advanced sites are doing it now. Javascript and Ajax requests, each going to a predefined division in the browser window, usually call a div.

But if you you want to avoid javascript, you can use Frames or iFrames. See my website zentara.net for example. Look at the index html you get, and see the Frames I define.

Then in outputing from a cgi script, you can write for instance:

<form method=post 
target=_top $secure_server_address$cgi_directory/admin.cgi>
[download]

where your target is where you want it to go... top, side, bottom, left right?

P.S. I believe Frames are being deprecated in favor of iFrames, so there probably is a better way than plain Frames.

Thank you all very much. I had seen something like that occurring on certain websites, but did not know the names of what I was seeing. I'll look into the options mentioned in this thread and spend some time creating a few working examples to help me better understand how it all gets put together. I'm greatly appreciative for you all having taken the time to steer me in the right direction! :)	[reply]
