Hi,

I'm trying to pass a value between 2 different frames. side_frame and main_frame. Now, I have an input field, which I'm trying to populate. The code I'm using is;

<a href="javascript:frames['main_frame'].form['edit_link'].catid.value=1234">

...but that gives me a syntax error. I'm pretty new to this JS stuff ... but I'm slowly getting there. Obviously not quite there yet =)

Would anyone mind sharing how to do this? I've tried other options, i.e;

javascript:document.catid.value=1234

... but that will only work with the local option, and not the one in the main_frame.

Any ideas are much appreciated :)

Cheers

Also tried;

javascript:window.parent.frames['main'].frames['main_frame'].catid.value=$id

.. which still doesn't work :/

(just remembered that I have 2 levels deep of frames), "main", and then "main_frame" and "bottom_frame" inside that frame.

Any ideas? :/

TIA

I think this is will help somewhat... perhaps you can hack it to fit your needs:

You little beaty... thats exactly what I was looking for. ...and there was me thinking I'd mastered finding things on Google :D

Thanks again.
