change input value in 2nd window

askey · Jun 15, 2002

Hello everybody!

I tried to automatically change the value of an <input> (in a 2nd htm-file) while loading the 1st one, but it doesn't work.

function test()
{
window.open("url-of-the-2nd-htm-file","window&quot

;
document.all.in_one.value = "3";
}

I have a htm-file with onLoad="test()" in the body tag and in the second htm-file the input-field named "in_one" definitly exists. I don't know why it doesn't work.

Thanks in advance.
