getting textbox value from FRAME+LAYER+FORM in Netscape

garrowsmith · Jun 24, 2002

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to get the value of a textbox that is sitting within a form within a layer within a frameset. I'm trying to use a layer to hover over an area of the form and a radial button will make the layer+textbox appear.

eg.
layerns.frm2.textbox.value

The frameset for the page is called questions.

I'm thinking it's something like
parent.questions.document.layerns.frm2.textbox.value

I can't seem to reference the value without bugging my whole script so actually debugging this is a nightmare.

eg

(o) today (o) alternative date
[ instert alternate date] <- show/hide

*** please, anyone, help!***
I've spent days trying to track down the code - a solution or NN compatable alternative would be much appreciated.
