    Hi,

    Brilliant, thanx a lot!!

    ...eh...but, now i got my Maintain.cgi explorerwindow holding 3 frames (coloums).
    1-my filtran frame
    2-my request frame
    3-my response frame

    Initially i wanted just 2 frames, and that the filetran submit button (also) should be in my request frame...
    My filetran frame ( which is fare left, and goes from the top of the window to the bottom of the window, and is fairy narrow) is now holding a single submit-filtran button (and a hidden-field) I feel that like a waste of window-space. In addition I need more buttons like my filetran butten ( causing new windows to appear). (buttons like <DoSoftwareUpgrade>,<LocalUserHandling>...)

    Is there a way to divide my fare left frame horisontally, so I can have more buttons fare left in seperat frames under each other?...or is there a ( totally )better approach to my design problem?
    Here is my frameset print:

    frameset({-cols=>'5%,35%,60%'},
    frame({-name=>'filetran',
    -src=>"$script/filetran"}),
    frame({-name=>'request',
    -src=>"$script/request"}),
    frame({-name=>'feedback',
    -src=>"$script/feedback"})

    (Yes, my cgi script is based on the 'popup.cgi' example provided in many perl sites.)

    Thanx again for all help!

    Regards
    Sten

      Ermmmm - I began to lose it a little after a while...do you just mean horizontal frames? something like...
      <frameset cols='x%,y%'> <frameset rows="a%,b%,c%"> <frame name='menu_button_1'> <frame name='menu_button_2'> <frame name='menu_button_3'> </frameset> <frame name='results'> </frameset>
      You could try posting an example URL to make it a little clearer.
      Cheers,
      Ben
        Yes, I wanted a combination of coloums and rows.
        (I wonder why I didn't write that initially...Sorry for that.)

        This does the job. Thanks a lot!!

        Regards
        Sten
