i am not too good with frames so i wanted to know how to go from a main page to a page with three frames after clicking a button. the main page is a login page and the code below is in a function if the user clicks ok. so when the user clicks ok, the two windows mentioned below pop up in two frames side by side so that files can be dragged and dropped from one to the other. is this possible? because currently it just opens two windows but i want them in frames as part of the main page. any help appreciated..thanks!<br />
