Submitting a form into iframe (SSI script)

[CJ-real]

I got this to work before then accidentally deleted the file... it is possible but I forgot how!

1) Script Title: Iframe SSI Script 2

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...iframessi2.htm

3) Describe problem: I have a form, which looks like this:

<form name="login" method="post" action="login.php?try=true">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><span class="formtags">Username</span><br>
  <input name="username" type="text" id="username"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><span class="formtags">Password</span><br>
  <input name="password" type="password" id="password"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="78"><input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Login"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

It submits the login information and I want it to submit into the SSI iframe, as if it were a normal link (which DynamicDrive provided this code:

<a href="javascript:loadintoIframe('myframe', 'external.htm')">Link</a>

I have tried the following (to make it easier, I cut off the un-needed code):
1.

<form name="login" target="mainframe" method="post" action="login.php?try=true">

2.

<form name="login" target="mainframe" method="post" action="javascript:loadintoIframe('mainframe', 'login.php?try=true')">

3.

<form name="login" method="post" action="javascript:loadintoIframe('mainframe', 'login.php?try=true')">

I would like to note that the following code:

<form name="login" method="post" action="javascript:loadintoIframe('mainframe', 'usersystem/login.php?try=true')">

works but seems to clear all of the data.

I also remember that what I did wasn't complex. Although I have tried putting the javascript in the target tag, it didn't work. If you can suggest how to make this work, I'll say wether I've tried it or not.

I also remember changing the attributed "id" and "name" of the iframe tag. But I tried all combinations and no luck.

Thanks for your time.

There are probably various ways to do this. In the one that springs to my mind at the moment, the iframe should have a name. It can be the same as its id, so something like so:

<iframe id="mainframe" name="mainframe" . . . .

Once you have that, this should work:

<form name="login" target="mainframe" method="post" action="login.php?try=true">
