Hi

I am trying to update a hidden field in a form. here is what i am trying to do.

i have a form. it contains a image table with click able images..so input type = image
AND it contains an iframe which is the part i update using cgi.

So the problem is i don't know where to put this Hidden field..to the table or to the iframe.

the use of the hidden field is, it carries all the past infomations where the user clicks(and some other stuff too)

when i keep the hidden field in the iframe tag, the info of hidden field is not passed to the server (cgi)

& it works when i keep the hidden field out side the iframe & table tags BUT inside the form tag. whether it works this way...How do i update that field when the cgi program updates the things in the iframe..

hOPE u understood this..

Can anyone plz comment on this..I need an idea very soon.

Thanks

quite simple; It HAS to be inside the <form> </form> elements and you will have to use javascript in the iframe page to update the parent form.

Can any one plz tell me the java script ..i am dont know java at all..

You're not going to find a javascript for your specific application, simply because the usage of iframes isn't all that common to begin with.

My suggestion to you would be NOT to use an iframe, but to use a scrolling div instead. The only reason to even use iframes that I've found is to direct users to external websites within the layout of the original website.

In other words, rebuild your page using a scrolling div for the content and then use Javascript if it's still necessary to do what you want.

Here's the code for a scrolling div:

<div style="width:  (width);  height:  (height);  overflow:  auto;">
