For my login form, I want it to post the data to an IFRAME (which is called logingin_iframe) then the page in the IFRAME validates the login information and lets the user know wether login was successful.

I tried:
<form action="login.php" target="logingin_iframe" method="post">
but it doesn't work, it just opens login.php in a new window. (It posts the info properly though)

Here's where I define the IFRAME:
<iframe id="logingin_iframe"></iframe>

-----------------------

Fixed!
Big thanks to feras_wilson, I just needed to use name instead of id

This is the code:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="sv">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Ny sida 1</title>
</head>

<body>

<form method="POST" action="login.php" target="frame">
<p><input type="submit" value="Send Form" name="B1"></p>
</form>

<p><iframe name="frame" width="594" height="349">
</iframe></p>

<p></p>

</body>

</html>
