opener, frames and holding my breath!!

[w11z]

Hello everyone,

I'll try simplify my problem...

Situation : I have a page in which there is a textbox (called "grandTotal&quot and a button. When I click the button, a popup window opens(frameset - top and bottom frames).

On the top frame there is a textbox (where the user enters a number) and a button (called "next&quot.

On the bottom frame appears the numbers entered in the top frame (after the user has pressed the button "next&quot and the sum of all the numbers entered.

Problem : On a button click (part of the bottom frame), how do I send the sum to the textbox "grandTotal"?

I have tried the object opener but since I'm using frames I can't seem to make it work!

Any suggestions!

use the parent object to refer to the frameset window, you could if you want call a script that then uses the opener object to reference the openeing page and then from there you can use:

in your bottom frame include the following line to call a script in the frameset
window.parent.setGrandTotal()

in the frameset in the head tag put:

<script>
function setGrandTotal()
{
window.opener.formName.TextBoxName.value = someval
}


}

Thank you sjravee,

But I found that even when a page calls up a frameset (containing 2 or more frames) the opener object still refers to the original page. So when sending back the value I have tried : window.parent.opener.document.formName.fieldName.value=document.formName.fieldName.value;

And it worked fine.

Thanks again
