You can use this trick: asume we've got a hidden frame called 'comms' and a
function called dataSent().
function sendStuff(stuff) {
with(parent.comms.document) {
open()
writeln("<frameset onLoad='parent.dataSent()'>")
writeln("<frame name=dumb src='about:blank'>")
writeln("<frame name=data src='data.cgi?'"+stuff+">")
writeln("</frameset>")
close()
}
}
