rookie question - can't you call a new whole page from inside a frame in html?

[Felecha]

Teaching myself html and servlets - I've discovered frames and how to call from one to another, that's working cool, but now I find I want a form and a submit button INSIDE one of 3 frames on a page, and the submit should call up a completely new page with its form variables passed to it, and in my practice code I find that when I click the button, the html of the page I call only opens INSIDE the frame I called from. Am I stuck there, inside the frame? How do I get a new frameless page to come up?

I was thrilled to see it work, but after a while I realized that each time I do it that way, a new browser window opens. Can I do it in a way that it will just open in the same window?

Thanks so much. I've spent hours on this one, cruising tutorials

Well, I found something that seems to work, but not really. I've also been playing with javascript (too many threads of learning going in too many directions, I'm afraid). Anyway, I just found I could change the submit button to a button that calls a simple function
{
parent.location="http://...."
}

but then I realized that gets the page I want, in the same window, but doesn't pass my form variables.
