Reuben,

The point of using frames is to avoid the overwriting of the script and
data that is doing the writing. There need be no _visible_ frames.

Well this is NOT cross browser compatible, but you could take a look at
this MSIE only technique which I mentioned:

<html><head>
<title>TD ID Tests</title>
<script>
function f1(el){
var txt=el.value;
document.all.cellA.innerHTML=txt;
}
</script>
</head>
<body text='#000000' bgcolor='#ffffff'>

<form onsubmit="return(false);">
<table border=1>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td ID="cellA">&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td ID="cellB">&nbsp;</td></tr>

<tr><td><input name='t1' value=''
         onchange=f1(this);></td></tr>
</table>
</form>

</body></html>

When you change the value of the text box it writes into a cell.

Hope this helps someone!
