Hi,
Anyone know if it’s possible to create an HTML form, with it’s ‘submit’ button in a seperate frame?
Thanks

Yes. Let’s say you have two frames set up like this:
Then, you can set a button on page1.htm with its onclick property set to:
parent.otherFrameName.functionName()
Then, in page2.htm, which contains the form, you place the function that actually submits the form:
function functionName() {
document.all.formname.submit();
}
This function should be adjusted if you’re working with Netscape, but you get the idea.
