How do I change FrontPage 2003 search form target frame?

FrontPage 2003 allows editing only for "Search Form Properties" but not "Form
Field Properties" in the search form. I need to change the target frame for
the search results but I cannot find anything about this in the software
help, the Microsoft FrontPage web site help, or the Microsoft Press
"FrontPage 2003 Faster Smarter." Very annoying.

TBMK, you can't change the results page or its properties, because they are
server generated.

Steve, thanks for the quick reply. I'm not into internet acronyms, so I
don't know what TBMK means. But I gather from your reply that using the
FrontPage search form is not advisable in web sites with frames? I can't
imagine this to be the case. More likely I just don't understand your
explanation. In the code there is a "target" option, i.e. <form
action="http://search.freefind.com/find.html" method="get" target=" ">. I've
tried _self, _main, _blank, etc but nothing changes. You mentioned 'server
generated." Would you be wiling to elaborate a bit for me? There must be a
solution, no? Thanks.

tbmk = to the best of my knowledge.

Maybe I mis-understood your question, as I thought you were trying to alter
the looks of the results page for the search.

FrontPage ( actually the server ) will search your entire web, however:
The web needs to be published to a server with FrontPage extensions, using
the http:// address.
Your host, ( or yourself if you have access ) needs to "index" your web in
order for the search to return results.

Does this help??

No - what I'm trying to do is get the search results to show up in the main
frame of my web site, which is set up as a banner and contents frameset. The
search results show up in the contents frame, a narrow frame on the left side
of the page used just for navigation. Thanks again.
