Determining TARGET frame

[Jo...@aol.com]

I'm working on my own site with mod_perl and mason.

I want cookie exchange ONLY with one particular frame.

I *could* simply just maintain a list of pages that might
validly be in the paricular frame, but I'd prefer something
like...

Is there any method for the Apache::Request object or it's 
Mason counterpart that will show me what the target frame
on the user's browser the request is being made for?

Maybe not.

Cookies, AFAIK, don't allow this.  You could do a couple of things to get
around this... Go by path (store each frame in a different path, and send
"Set-Cookie: name=value; path=/framename", or store the frame name in the value
of the cookie and make a loop that gets all the cookies, splits on a separator,
and disards cookies that you don't want...

Clients don't inform the server of what frame a click originates frame,
you'd have to have a query string or URL based session mgt setup and do it
yourself.  You can direct the client what window/frame to load a response
in with a "Window-target" header but that's about all you can do.  OK,
back to Mason and mod_perl....

Would putting all those pages in one directory (or subdirectories thereof)
and setting a path on the cookie work for you ?
