[htmltmpl] Ouptuttting to a named frame with IE

[Ron S. <ro...@de...>]

Hi Folks

Using IE 6.

And, yes, I'm aware of this page, which discusses trying to redirect 
posts to posts: 
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/www/post-redirect.html

Now for the problem:

I have a frameset which basically looks like:
=09=09=09<frame name=3D"left" src=3D"http://127.0.0.1/x-tree.cgi">
=09=09=09<frame name=3D"right" src=3D"http://127.0.0.1/x.cgi">

x-tree.cgi displays a tree of links via 'a href' (using CGI::Explorer, 
a Perl wrapper around xTree http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/xtree/).

x.cgi displays other stuff.

x.cgi and x-tree.cgi are the same code, based on CGI::Application. 
Their calls to new() store 'left' or 'right'.

I'd like, when one of those links in the left frame is clicked, for 
the output to appear in the right frame.

My experiments have either:
(1) centered around using just (in x-tree.cgi):
=09=09$self -> header_props(-target =3D> 'right');
(2) or around (in x-tree.cgi):
=09Construct $url =3D 'x.cgi/...' and
=09=09$self -> header_type('redirect');
=09=09$self -> header_props(-url =3D> $url);
=09=09return '';
=09and in x.cgi:
=09=09$self -> header_props(-target =3D> 'right');

However, the (correct) output always appears in the left frame.

Any ideas?
