I don't see the need to use frames, it is just a question of saving your 
data in the post method and reading your data in the get

The get will fetch the current data save it in an instance variable 
(@variable) and refer to a template that includes your form which has  
an href of '/' and method post
but can also display the current data from the @variable.

Hope this is of help
