Shirley, you might want to consider using CSS to mimic the functionality
of frames. I tried to do something like what you are wanting to do but
gave up trying to use frames because I was stuck with using MSXML which
doesn't have an extension function for producing multiple output
documents. So unless you are certain that you are in a position to be
able to use an XSLT processor such as Saxon to achieve this, you might
want to consider other options.
You haven't stated whether you want to have frames generated dynamically
or whether you would produce static HTML files behind the scenes.
Also, if you plan on publishing this on the web, keep in mind that not
every client browser will be able to process something like this
dynamically, so you'll want to either stick to static HTML files or have
the webserver do the XML processing.

Hi Everyone,
I am new to the list and to XSLT (but I am learning). I had the
following html that worked on a site with two frames. This was in the
default.html:
<FRAMESET COLS="16%,64%" FRAMEBORDER=1>
<FRAME SRC="WaiverNav.htm" NAME=a MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0
FRAMEBORDER=1 title="Naviagation Area">
<FRAME SRC="WaiverHome.htm" NAME=b MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0
FRAMEBORDER=1 title="ESMO Configuration Modification Request Home Page">
</FRAMESET>
On the default.xsl, it is the following:
<frameset cols="16%,64%" frameborder="1">
<frame src="waivernav.xsl" name="a" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" frameborder="1" title="Navigation Area"/>
<frame src="waiverhome.xsl" name="b" marginwidth="0"
marginheight="0" frameborder="1" title="ESMO Configuration Modification
Request Home Page"/>
</frameset>
Below is the html that used onclick (in waivernav.html) to put the
target frame in the right-hand frame:
<TD ALIGN=center id=srch abbr="Search for a CMR">
<P><INPUT TYPE=button NAME=SearchSyLg VALUE="Search CMRs "
onclick="window.top.b.location.href='FMPro?-db=WebWaivers.fp5&-lay=Normal&-format=WaiverSearch.htm&-view';return
true;"></P>
</TD>
In the XSLT, I am using many forms to get buttons to work to make the
target pags to work properly with Filemaker Pro. Below is one of the
forms used with a button:
<form method="post" name="SearchforCMR"><xsl:attribute
name="action">waiversearch.xsl</xsl:attribute>
<p><input type="hidden" name="-db" value="WebWaivers"/>
<input type="hidden" name="-lay" value="Normal"/>
<input type="hidden" name="-token.error"
value="search_error.xsl"/>
<input type="Submit" name="-view" value="Search"/>
</p>
</form>
I have tried many different things, but can't figure out where to put
onclick to do the same thing in xsl (the pages always wind up taking up
the whole page) or whether there is some other way to do this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
