parent.leftframe reference does not work in Mozilla 1.5

[djmc]

Hi. I have a button with an onClick event which assigns a value to a textbox located on a left frame. This code works on IE browsers but on Mozilla it does not execute that command.

this is the function

function addToCart() {
alert("adding to cart"
parent.left.testbox.value="modified by main frame!";
}

it executes the alert but does not change the value of the textbox in the left frame (works in IE though).

Can someone help. Thanks.

you may need to add the name of the form like this...

parent.left.myForm.testbox.value="modified by main frame!";

But there is no <form> </form> enclosing the text field.. i just i have <input type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;testbox&quot; />

so wouldnt a object be created and named testbox?

Only in IE. Mozilla, Netscape, and others won't fix your syntax errors. Input fields must be enclosed by <form></form> tags.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!
