Hi there - I am working with a page that uses frames - the right frame - called "main" contains a link for a pop-up address book. The window that pops up contains links for different email addresses that can be selected. When the link is clicked it triggers a javascript function that updates that field in the right frame of the parent window. The code that I have works in IE but not in Netscape. Does anyone see any issues with the code?

Thanks again!

THE CODE IN THE RIGHT FRAME:
<form name=&quot;f1&quot; action=&quot;record_share.asp&quot; method=&quot;post&quot;>
<p>Share with: <BR>
<img src=&quot;images/ContactIcon.gif&quot; title=&quot;Click here to use your personal address book&quot; onclick=&quot;openAddressBook('open');return false;&quot; style=&quot;cursor:hand;&quot;></img>
<input name=&quot;txtUserName&quot; value=&quot;&quot; width=155&quot; maxlength=&quot;100&quot;>
<INPUT type=&quot;submit&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Share Images&quot;>
</FORM>
-------------------------------------------------------
THE POPUP CODE:
<html><title>Address Book</title><head>
<link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;dolphin1.css&quot;>
<script language=javascript>
function updateField(str) {
window.opener.f1.txtUserName.value = str;
window.close();
}
</script>
</head>

<body>
<br>
<table align=center bgcolor=#ffffff border=0 cellspacing=0>
<tr>
<td>
<a class=tabsel2>Address Book</a><br>
<img src=&quot;images/graph1.jpg&quot; align=&quot;top&quot; height=2 width=&quot;100%&quot;>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align=left>
<a href=&quot;javascript:updateField('test@test.com')&quot;>
<font size=2pt>test@test.com</font></a>
</td>
</tr>
<TABLE>
</BODY>
</HEAD>
</HTML>
-----------------------------------------
THE FRAMESET CODE:

You may have an issue with the opener referring to the frame page rather than the right frame. I don't work with frames too much...

window.opener.f1.txtUserName.value = str;

may need to be...

window.opener.rightFrameName.f1.txtUserName.value = str;

Nevermind! I figured it out. If anyone else needs the answer here it is:

I modified the function in the pop-up as follows:

function updateField(str) {
window.opener.document.f1.txtUserName.value = str;
window.close();
}
