It sees your frame as one web browser. The other frame is another browser. If you want one frame to reload another frame, you HAVE to use javascript. > i've seen some references to meta-tag attributes within the HEADER that > alude to being able to specify the target window for the content... > PHP does not know what a target is. It may display the target, but that's all it'll do. Javascript keeps track of targets and elements because the code is working within the browser. Picture javascript as a user sitting in front of a web browser who has the ability to click on buttons, reload any frame and enter text into forms. Now picture PHP as the guy to writes the HTML and sends it to the browser and stands there waiting for a request to send more HTML to the browser. "Frame? I don't know where this frame is. You'll have to ask the javascript guy where that is."
