iframe opener 1

dexeloper · Mar 29, 2006

I'm trying to reference values in the opening window but having no joy. Two files:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form name="main">
<iframe src="test02.html">ghgh gh</iframe>
<input type=hidden name="a1" id="a1">
</form>
</body.
</html>

<html>
<head>
<script language = "JavaScript">
function doX(){
opener.document.forms["main"].a1.value = "gg";
window.opener.getElementById("a1").value = "gg";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type=button value="click" onclick="doX();">
</body.
</html>

Both methods of setting the value of a1 fail. Any ideas?

iframes (as well as regular frames) do not reference the calling page via opener, they reference the calling page from parent, try that out instead.

Thanks for the kind words. And..... since you mentioned it first, taking a quick look at your profile is showing the far right column looking a little bare. Stars around here are best when they're the purple variety, and often make posters jump at the chance to assist you when they are given graciously. [wink]
