Hierarchical HTML frame processing (somewhat OT)by mikeB (Friar) |

mikeB has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I'm having trouble figuring out how to do a "hierarchical frameset" in a perl CGI. The desired result is a set of frames with a parent/child relationship, e.g. department, team, and member. Each of these frames has a form which, when updated, causes that frame and "lower" ones to be updated.
I currently have a non-frame implementation, as well as the beginnings of a frame implementation. The problem is that, while I can get a form submit to update it's source frame, or a single target frame, I can't find a way to update multiple frames. I.e, submitting the department form should cause updates for all three; submitting the team form would cause updates in the team and member frames; and the member form would update only the member frame. FWIW, the frame version of the CGI currently has a dispatch table with actions for each frame and form. It seems a nested/recursive solution is called for, but the implementation eludes me. Any pointers or hints ??
