in reply to Frame Redirection

I've never seen the "Window-target" protocol. What I have done to get the same result is call up a dynamically generated frame set that has the new window... That is, my form has an IF-THEN-ELSIF (or SWITCH-surrogate) structure to select which frameset information gets printed to the browser. (Using cgi.pm, of course.)

In my particular implementation, however, this worked only for the IE browser. (This was an all CGI section -- nothing was static, and Netscape doesn't seem to like frameset.cgi putting other CGIs into the child frames, while IE survived.) You could most likely overcome this problem, but I was working on an Intranet where everyone (except me) used exclusively IE, so it wasn't worth my time...

    There is a header that CGI.pm uses (I don't remember the exact method) that will print to new frames but I believe it only works in Netscape. Maybe you could combine this with what mpolo said above. Check the CGI man page
