Hi HTML Experts,

I'm kind of new to HTML, specially to Frames.

I have two frames. Left frame displaying REGIONS coming from a database. Right frame need to display a complete record coming from a database once a REGION is selected from left frame.

Basically, clicking on a region for instance, DEV10, and than I want to display DEV10 record coming from a database. I have all queries to get data from database. Even I'm displaying all my REGIONS in left frame and they are clickable, Once i click on a specific region, how the selected region record will display on the right frame.

I also wants to understand once the user select a region, I have to take that selected region variable and perform a database query in a separate program called for say xyz.jsp based on the selected region.

Here is my code.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>A simple frameset document</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<FRAMESET cols="20%, 80%">
<FRAMESET rows="200">
<FRAME src="RBUtilityMain.jsp" NAME=SIDEBAR>
<FRAME NAME=MAIN>

</FRAMESET>

<NOFRAMES>
<P>This frameset document contains:
<UL>
<LI><A href="contents_of_frame1.html">Some neat contents</A>
<LI><IMG src="contents_of_frame2.gif" alt="A neat image">
<LI><A href="contents_of_frame3.html">Some other neat contents</A>
</UL>
</NOFRAMES>
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

Any help would be highly appreciated.
