Opening a page while passing username and password

[theswing]

Okay,

I'm trying to integrate phpbb into my site.

I created a page with an iframe to load phpbb, this page is located at http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=forum

On my main page, I have a link that looks like this:

                                    <form name='frmForum' id='frmForum' action="forum/login.php" method='post' target="_blank">
                                    <input type="hidden" name='login' value="Log in" />
                                    <input type="hidden" name='username' value="{$smarty.session.UserName}" />
                                    <input type="hidden" name='whatIneed' value="{$smarty.session.whatIneed}" />
                                    </form>
                                    <a href="#" class="panellink" onclick="javascript:document.frmForum.submit(); return(false);" >FORUM</a>

The above code correctly opens phpbb in another browser window and logs me in, but does not open the page with the iframe.

I've tried this without luck:

<form name='frmForum' id='frmForum' action="forum/login.php" method='post' target="_self">
                                    <input type="hidden" name='login' value="Log in" />
                                    <input type="hidden" name='username' value="{$smarty.session.UserName}" />
                                    <input type="hidden" name='whatIneed' value="{$smarty.session.whatIneed}" />
                                    </form>
                                    <a href="http://www.domain.com/index.php?page=forum" class="panellink" onclick="javascript:document.frmForum.submit(); return(false);" >FORUM</a>

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks.

the target needs to be the ID of your frame.

if you have named your frame "booger" you would say <blah blah ... target="booger">

and yes, I like saying booger.
