Frames + window.parent

[dranium]

Hello,

I have a site that contains 2 frames, the main frame which contains the question and my bottom frame which contains numbering from 1 to 10. This code works great in IE browsers but when I try to use this in FireFox nothing happens when I click on the numbering. Is there a different way I can write this simple line in FireFox?

<a href="javascript:window.parent.navbody.pag_vars(1,9);window.parent.navbody.questionform.submit();" >9</a>

Assuming 'navbody' is the name of a frame, and 'questionform' is the name of a form within that frame, try this:

javascript:window.parent.frames['navbody'].pag_vars(1,9); window.parent.frames['navbody'].forms['questionform'].submit();

Hope this helps,
Dan

Thanks for the reply Dan, your code didn't work but it helped me figure out why it wasn't working. I needed to add document.forms in my code and now everything works with FireFox.

Where did you add document.forms in your code?

I switch this...
<a href="javascript:window.parent.navbody.pag_vars(1,9);window.parent.navbody.questionform.submit();" >9</a>

To this...
<a href="javascript:window.parent.navbody.pag_vars(1,9);window.parent.navbody.document.forms.questionform.submit();" >9</a>
