Excellent question,
I wish I new the answer because I want to do the same thing. :)
There is no purely server-side way (that I know of) to have the servlet
redirect to a
different frame; that's all client side stuff. I've been through the
http 1.1. spec
and there does not seem to be a solution there. As far as http is
concerned, a
client request from a place (frame, browser, etc) will generate a
server response
to the same place.
If you submit the form as a link then you can add something
like "TARGET=TOP_FRAME" to the "A" tag.
Without using javascript, what I did was gather the parameters from the
form and created a link with a query string. The query string contained
the
form parameters. When the user clicked on the link, the response
was displayed in the appropriate frame.
I don't believe there is a complete html-only solution without using
javascript.
Hope this helps,
Mike
