it's not possible to submit a form using post and have it's results load straight into a loadpanel, only get works. The simplest solution is to submit your form to a hidden frame. The cgi should return the results to the hidden frame. The results need to be encapsultad in a form textarea so you can access the result in ns4 eg:
 
<html>
<body>
<form name="result">
<textarea name="result">it worked!</textarea>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Subject: [Dynapi-Help] LoadPanel question

The project I am working on is a Floor Plan Design page.  On this page, the user can create floor plans by adding and editing objects, like walls and doors and windows etc.
 
My challenge is I need to be able to save these floor plans to the server.
 
If they are not too large, I can just put all the data into a URL and load that URL into a LoadPanel.  When the LoadPanel receives confirmation from the CGI, I can inform the user of success.
 
The problem is if the floor plan is too large, then it doesn't seem to work.  I believe the problem is a limit on the size of the URL.  My thought was to use a FORM METHOD=POST, but I'm not sure how to use that with the LoadPanel without poking around a lot in the LoadPanel code.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
Hershel Robinson
