Post form variables to a frame

How can I post a form to the left frame of a frameset. I want to have an
user submit a form that opens a frameset. The left frame contains the
results of a query based on the posted parameters.

What I want to create is a master detail page. Let's say a person is looking
for a particular car. They would fill out a form. When the form is submitted
a frameset shows up with thumbnails and some information on the car on the
left frame. When the person clicks on the thumbnail, a larger picture and
more information shows up on the right hand frame.

My only problem is getting the form variables to the left frame.

thanks,

Luis

Try setting the target attribute of the form element to the name of the left
frame.

I tried that but it did not work.
