Hm - this sounds logical, but I am not sure where to put the [if]s.
The RequiredFields are set in the catalog.cfg and they are checked if a user
clicks on order on the checkout-page. This order-button includes the setting
of a hidden field named mv_change_frame to change the frame to _top if the
button is clicked.
The problem is that the frame is also changed if some data is missing. This
causes the Needfield-page to be displayed in the _top frame...

PS:
Perhaps it is possible to use a new frameset-file as Needfield-page - I
think I'll have to try this :-).
PPS: Is there a way to change two frames at the same time? - Especially if
someone [order]s something?
I would like to change the mainframe to the basket-page and the index-frame
at the same time, because the index-frame contains a short-form of the
basket.
