Neither of them worked when using the DynAPI. I think they would both work
using the get method. I tried making an example just using html, no
javascript, if I set the name attribute on the iframe tag i can tell the
form to target the iframe. I could get a form loaded in an iframe to load
the form response into the same iframe (using post), but netscape always
loaded the form repsonse into the parent window, not the ilayer. i get the
impression that what I want to do is not possible in netscape 4.

So your form response returns an html page with a textbox in it to the
hidden frame, and in the text box is the content you want to use to update
your widget. I presume that if you are doing this then after you submit the
form you run a function that checks for the existence of a textfield in the
hidden frame. Is that about right?

I thought about trying to use onload, but I can't see how to attach an
onload event to the hidden frame without actually putting the onload
function in the html that is returned by the form.
