Please help me…
I have 3 frames (from layout) on my web page. When I submit the form NONE of the input fields on any of the forms are returned to my CGI program. Thie input fields not in the DIVs which define the layouts are returned.
What am I doing wrong? I have searced the forum for submit and CGI to no avail
I have been working on this project for a man month and it is due on July 12th. I can hardly start over.

I’ve read the description… It is not clear.
Could you provide the tabbar initialization code. Possibly it’ll help to understand where the form is and how form is submitted.
Here is the code
(it is html code but i cannot send you that, thus the extention xxx)
(well xxx doesn’t work either, so here goes txt)
(txt didn’t work either)
(took the headers off and used cfe)
i am so frustrated… no matter what i put as an extension i get this error
The extension cfe is not allowed.
The upload was rejected because the uploaded file was identified as a possible attack vector
I don’t even know what an attac vector is!
evidently i cannot send you the code…which makes me sol
so i am gonna try to put the code here:

In your example layout is attached to the document body. The form isn’t attached to any layout cell.
The input fields must be inside form. So, you need to attach the form with the necessary fields to one of layout cells.
alexandra-
thank you
if i am understanding you correctly this line:
dhxLayout = new dhtmlXLayoutObject(document.body, “4U”);
should be this?
dhxLayout = new dhtmlXLayoutObject(document.form, “4U”);
charlie
hi,
dhxLayout = new dhtmlXLayoutObject(document.form, “4U”);
you need to attach form into the necessary layout cell. For example:
dhxLayout.cells(“c”).attachObject(“EmpUpd”); /EmpUpd is form id/
