How do I get my search results to display within the appropriate frame / window?

This FAQ provides instructions for sites that utilize frames / framesets and wish for their search result to appear in a target frame different from the frame where the search box is placed, or for sites that wish for their search results to appear in a different (new) window.

The key to successfully targeting the location of your search results is to include an additional parameter in the first line, the initial <FORM> tag, of the HTML code we provide you.

The following additional code will dictate where the search results should be displayed when executed:

TARGET=frame_name

Where 'frame_name' is equal to the name of the frame where you wish for you search results to appear.

For Example, while the initial code we supplied you may appear as such:

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="https://ssxxx.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_query">
...
...
</FORM>

For the code to function with frames, where the desired frame in which you wish for your results to appear is named 'main', insert the referenced code as such:

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="https://ssxxx.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_query" TARGET=main>
...
...
</FORM>

If you wish to open a new window for the search results to be displayed within, set the value of 'frame_name' equal to '_blank'.

<FORM METHOD="GET" ACTION="https://ssxxx.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_query" TARGET=_blank>
...
...
</FORM>

Also, the following additional piece of code should be added the sitemap and 'search tips' HREF links, to dictate where these links should display when clicked upon:

TARGET=frame_name

<A href="https://xxx.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_sitemap?sitenbr=000..." TARGET=frame_name>sitemap</A>
<A href="https://xxx.fusionbot.com/cgi-bin/ss_help?sitenbr=000..." TARGET=frame_name>search tips</A>

You can also control the frame in which the pages are displayed when a link is clicked on your search results page, including the ability to pop-open a new window when a search result link is clicked. To learn more, please see the following FAQ.
