G'day all

I have an index.shtml file containing 5 ssi includes:
top.pl (merely prints out some html and some variables)
vote.cgi (see below)
middle.shtml (plain html)
news.cgi (prints out news items)
bottom.pl (merely prints out some html and some variables)
vote.cgi is the one where I'm stumped.

My goal is that when the user votes and submits the form, the form is replaced by the results in the same place on the main page. I understand this would mean essentially re-writing the other pages and altering the output... but I can;t seem to get it to work.

Currently, vote.cgi picks up the fact that it is having a vote submitted using a hidden form field and prints out the results. The problem is the results are printed on their own separate page and I want them to replace the form on the main page.

I have searched, but I found nothing dealing with this specfic problem... any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers in advance
