    Hello,

    I'm currently working on a website which needs to integrate some search facility code that the client has supplied to me. However, the code I've been given was designed to be intergrated into a site built using a frameset (which mine isn't) and I'd like to modify it so that instead of loading the results in a frameset, they open in a new window. Could someone please take a look at the instructions and code below and tell me if this is possible?

    Thanks!

    1. Add the following javascript to the <head> of your page (please call
    your CSR to get your client no. in order to replace it in the javascript):

    <script type="text/javascript">
function RefreshFrame( pFrameId ) {
document.target = pFrameId;
var wController = 
'http://www.powersourceonline.com/cgi/en/vstock.search/';
var wSearchString = document.getElementById( 'SearchBox' ).value;
var wClientNoString = "123456";
document.location = wController + wSearchString + '-' + 
wClientNoString + '-br';
}
</script>
    Code (markup):
    2. Add the following <form> to your page:

    <form method="post" id="Search" 
action="javascript:RefreshFrame('SearchFrame')">
<span>Part Number</span>
<input id="SearchBox" name="SearchRequest.QueryCriteria.SingleBox" 
size="30" type="text" value="" />
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
</form>
    Code (markup):
    3. Add the following <frame> to your page:

    <frame id="SearchFrame" 
src="http://www.powersourceonline.com/cgi/en/vstock.search">
    Code (markup):
    Note:
    You can implement the frameset to your liking but the frame containing the VStock Search results, should never be less than 760 pixels wide, it is the minimum.
