Help please..

Hi there,

I just added a search function (google) into a site I'm creating.

http://business.aem.cornell.edu/academics/index.htm

But, being that the site is made in frames, the Google results come up
in a frame and I want it to come up on top (target="_top") but how do I
assign a target to the forms submit button?

Or is there another way? (without recreating the site with no
frames...please.)

Thanks

Steve

You don't. You set the <form> element's target attribute.

I take it you are already aware of the numerous problems that frames cause?

Yes, I'm in the process of doing it over with CSS. But for now it'll
have to live in frames.

Thanks again.

I just ran a report on this site's contents and found out it has a total
of 666 files, no lie.

It is EVIL!!

That's too bad; you're sure to run into problems with frames.

Voila! ;-)

Sure, dump the frames.

Oh. Well, with that caveat, probably not.
