Re: submitting a form through another frame

You can try this... It opens up a new window containing the same form,
copy all the data into the new window then click on the submit button.
Afterwards close the window.
At least this method will support users clicking on the back buttons or
bookmarks. You may optimize this to have a flag to check if data was
changed and such.
Following is a code snippet.
<script>
function doSubmit() {
var submitter = window.open("formsubmit.html");
submitter.document.getElementById("FOOID").value =
document.getElementById("FOOID").value;
submitter.document.getElementById("AUTOSAVE").click();
submitter.close();
}
</script>
<body onunload="doSubmit()">
<form action="http://localhost/" method="get">
FOO<input type="text" id="FOOID" name="FOO" value="xyz" />
<input type="Submit" id="AUTOSAVE" name="BAR" value="SUBMIT" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
