Getting the href from one frame and viewing it in another

[T1M]

I have a page with two frames. The top one has a button that when pressed, I want it to get the url of the bottom frame. The problem is that I want to use the bottom frame to navigate to other sites and domains.

Frameset:
<frameset rows=&quot;20%,*&quot;>
<frame name=&quot;topbar&quot; src=&quot;top.cfm&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; scrolling=&quot;no&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; noresize>
<frame name=&quot;bottombar&quot; src=&quot;bottom.cfm&quot; marginwidth=&quot;1&quot; marginheight=&quot;1&quot; scrolling=&quot;auto&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot;>
</frameset>

The top frame:
<script language=&quot;JavaScript&quot;>
function getURL(){
document.formgo.thisurl.value = top.frames.bottombar.location.href;
}
</script>
<input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Get URL&quot; onClick=&quot;getURL();&quot;>
<input type=&quot;text&quot; size=&quot;40&quot; name=&quot;thisurl&quot; value=&quot;&quot; maxlength=&quot;255&quot;>

The bottom frame could have a location of anywhere. The above script works when the location of the bottom frame has the same domain as the domain of frameset.

I am willing to try anything so even if your idea is a bit off the wall, go for it.

Thanks,

I was wondering if you had your form(<form>)tag with a name &quot;formgo&quot; if not, try it.

Yeah, my form name is &quot;formgo&quot;.

Tim, you can't get url of frame, wich document is from another domain..
but if you set this url handy, why not save it in some hidden field & then check it instead of checking directly location property of that frame
(but it won't work if user/you would click on some link on that page & thy change url..:-( ) Victor

Thanks Victor. It's too bad it won't work.
