I tend not to use IFRAMEs much at all, but IMHO _self should target the current frame ie. the 'login' document inside the IFRAME. So in that respect, IE7 seems to be doing it right!? You would need to use _parent or _top to target the outer page(?)

actully my client need iframe so I have to use.

is there any other solution without changing form terget?. please tell me.

Why can't you change the form target?

because I want to open form action's url into that Iframe. this application will be used in different sites.

Ah OK... what if you remove the target attribute altogether? Afterall, I would have thought that _self was the implied default value?

ok, but that is not a problem. problem is that I want to load form action url on that iframe but after login only page is refresh no form action url is displaying.

I have just tried what I think you are trying to do in IE6 and it appears to work OK. (I haven't tried IE7) I'm wondering whether it is some kind of security restriction with IE7?!

The URL specified in the action attribute is presumably a different page? Is it also on a different server?

How does the page (specified in the action attribute) process the form?

Can you paste your form code?

I have since tried this (simplified) example in IE7 and again it seems to work OK. The URL specified in the action attribute is followed, the page in the IFRAME is not simply refreshed.

It does sound as if it is something to do with the way you process the form rather than an issue with the IFRAME?
