in thread CGI script to open a new browser window?

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!!
