changing frames pages in ASP

[Thomas Brooks]

Hi all...

Quick question for you. I'm trying to change the contents of a frames page
after a user has successfully logged in. I'm running into a little bit of
difficulty. Here's what I have thus far...

I have a simple contents-type frame. The left frame is a login page
(login.asp) and the right frame is a welcome page (welcome.htm). When
someone enters their user name and password, another ASP script I wrote
validates the login information. If it is valid, then the left frame now
displays a menu page (menu.asp). But the right frame still shows the
welcome.htm page....I don't want that.

What I want to do is upon validating the login information and displaying
the new menu in the left frame, I also want the right frame to display a new
page. Is this possible and if so, how?

Thanks

You've got a couple of choices.
1) Your login <form> can set the target to _top and you recreate the whole
frame
2) You write some Javascript that your menu page reloads the welcome page

This isn't really an asp topic since the "problem" is on the client

Thanks for the quick reply....I knew of the JavaScript way, but I was hoping
to keep everything in native ASP. I guess I'll do that.

You can. Have ASP write the javascript code. (O;=
