Another way would be to have two different servlets one for each frame like: <Frame src="/myServlet1" name="frame1"> <Frame src="/myServlet2" name="frame2"> and when you click on a button or a link in frame1 you can set the target to frame 2. This way you are splitting the responsibility between two servlets and keeping things clear. Hence frame1 is not reloaded always a button is clicked.

I like this approach. Is it possible to reload only one frame though? If the user is in frame 1 and clikcs a button to display other data in frame 2, is it possible to just update frame 2 w/o having to reload frame 1 again? fuz On Wed, 18 Sep 2002, Chris Pratt wrote: > One option would be to just add a query parameter to each of the frame > source addresses, something like this: > > <Frame src="/myServlet?frame=1" name="frame1"> > <Frame src="/myServlet?frame=2" name="frame2"> > > Then in your servlet you can use request.getAttribute("frame") to find out > which frame to draw. > (*Chris*) > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Fawaz Ahmad" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 10:17 AM > Subject: Re: [SERVLET-INTEREST] Using Frames with servlets > > > > Hello, > > > > I am stuck with a problem using frames and can not think of a good > > solution.
