Accessing other frame 1

[malonep]

Hi,
I have two frames and one changes the value in a drop down box in the other.

I have it working on pc ie but when I run it on mac IE it never changes the drop down box. I can get it to print out the correct value on the mac but it won't change it
For the mac section I have:

alert(parent.ComboFrame.document.all.item('cboGradeSource').value);

will print out the correct value (0 or 1) but when I go

parent.ComboFrame.document.all.item('cboGradeSource').value = 1;

it doesn't change the value.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,

AFAIK, document.all is IE/Win only. Use a more compatible method, like getElementById, etc.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Do I use getElementbyID for the frame or the drop down box?

Could you please show me an example of how to set the dropdown box on the othe frame


Thanks a million,

parent.frames['ComboFrame'].document.getElementById("cboGradeSource").selectedIndex = 1

selects the second item in the drop down box.
