Textbox Value 1

[snt]

I need to pass info from one textbox to another. This is not a problem. The problem arises when then name of the textbox for the info to be passed to is
option|001|%%prodID-*%%. This is needed to pass the variable to the options in a shoppong cart.
Ok, my question is, how can i pass a value into this textbox? The standard document.form.box.value=.... doesn't work. Is there a way to strip the %% and the || to get the value to pass, and then put them back so the info can pass to the cart?

Thanks

I don't get it.

You're saying the textbox's name is

option|001|%%prodID-*%%

??

Yes, but you are going to have to think in terms of runtime. Since that name field changes with, presumably, each instance, you are going to have to create a conditional that will pull it at runtime before you can manipulate it.

It's difficult to be more specific without a solid example to work with, but I hope it helps a little. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than it is to get permission." - Rear Admiral Dr. Grace Hopper

Well, if you must... This is how you access your TEXTAREA named

option|001|%%prodID-*%%

:

document.forms.myForm["option|001|%%prodID-*%%"];

bra1niac,

I am not that familiar with perl to be able to do something like that.

uniment,
i tried
<script language=javascript>
function setOther(){
window.opener.myForm.[&quot;option|013|%%prodID-*%%&quot;].value = document.thisForm.thisBox.value;
}
</script>

<INPUT type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot; Send &quot; onclick=&quot;setOther()&quot;>

but it doesn't work.
Any other suggestions

In your newly-opened window:

<script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;>
function setOther() {

[tt]

 opener.document.forms.myForm["option|013|%%prodID-*%%"].value = document.forms.thisForm.thisBox.value;

[/tt]

}
</script>
<form name=&quot;thisForm&quot;>
 <textarea name=&quot;thisBox&quot;></textarea>
 <input type=&quot;submit&quot; onclick=&quot;setOther()&quot;>
</form>

and in your opener:

<form name=&quot;myForm&quot;>
 <textarea name=&quot;option|013|%%prodID-*%%&quot;></textarea>
</form>

In the code above, note that the this:

opener.document.forms.myForm["option|013|%%prodID-*%%"].value

Does NOT have a period preceding

["option|013|%%prodID-*%%"]

Thank you. That's what I needed.
