Dear colleagues Is there somebody out there who understands why Target is not part of Strict? Some seem even to believe that all the Frames-related functionality is on the way out. I do not see with what it can be repIaced. I use frames to: (1) Download precisely the content needed at the time when it is needed (if ever). (2) Communicate servlets via a hidden frame. I then use Target to direct the servlet's answer to the right frame. I was able to use Frames but not Target by handling all the communication with the servlets through a Form tag situated in a hidden frame and receiving the answer also always in the hidden frame. But then I had to handle the uploading of user-selected files. Most browsers (eg IE6) do not allow to access the Value attribute of <Input type="file"> dynamically, so I have to place the form in a visible frame. Without a Target attribute on the form, the servlet will destroy the content of that visible frame by writing into it. Groete Johannes
