I don't know if this is possible at all but I have developed a script for an
onlineshop and I need to update two frames with the result of the script. Is
there a way to tell the browser in what frame it should display the output
from the script from within perl?

# Send a Target header.  I don't know if you can output to two separate

you might want to insert a sub frame-layout-document into your document
to make this work

(e.g. have one file with 3 frames where the middle frame might have the
name "middle_frame" and then load a 2 frame document to target
"middle_frame", then you just need to replace this "middle_frame" frame
with another 2 frame document by targetin the according output)

sounds complicated? it isn't! :)

an example:

frame1.html:
  <framset ...>
   <frame name="one" src="x.html">
   <frame name="middle_frame" src="twoframes.html">
   <frame name="three" src="y.html">
  </frameset>

and twoframes.html:

  <frameset ...>
    <frame ...>
    <frame ...>
  </frameset>

does that help?

# No ;) The problem _was_ to get the result of one script into two frames at
# once. I have an orderform in one frame and a shopping bag in another. The
# shoppingform is editable and when sending the edited form to the server the
# result should be a new editable form _and_ an update of the shopping
bagwindow
# as well. The problem is now fixed.
