How can I open a new document in a

[Riku]

How can I open a new document in a frame and input
a value to a field. Code below don't work.

top.mainFrame.location.href = "edit_field.asp";
top.mainFrame.document.form1.pollIndex.value = "sss";

It seems that href line is not changing the href untill the hole function is run. So how can I open a new document and
edit its fields using one function? F: Riku Tuominen

You can do it this way :
in calling page :

top.mainFrame.location.href = "edit_field.asp?pollIndex=sss";

in called page (edit_field.asp):

<%
dim parm
parm = request.QueryString(&quot;pollIndex&quot;)
%>
<Form id=form1>
<input id=pollIndex value=&quot;<%=parm%>&quot;>
...

Yes that's true. I would need this problem solved rather in the function. I have a large web app with lot of code, where this needs to be resolved. I feel that the code would be too fractured if sending info through url. Also som fields might include to mutch info to be put to the URL(length ristriction).

Is there any other command style in javascript to open a doc in a frame.

How about something like:

var myWindow = top.mainFrame.location.href = "edit_field.asp";

myWindow.mainFrame.document.form1.pollIndex.value = "sss";

Maybe not directly like that but ... any one maybe get an idea. F: Riku Tuominen

So can't you do it in the other way. I mean if it doesn't work to fill your value from "calling frame", why don't you try to do it from "called frame" by setting the value of your input in an onload event with a value stored in "calling frame" ?

Yes maybe that would be best solution, even though that function is splitted to two. I gues I am trying to get the code more simple than is possible?
Thank you wery mutch for your ideas, they are appreciated.
I you figure out how to do it simply in onn function, maybe not today, please hope you tell me. It would simplify my code quit a lot. I like to have procedures in on place.

Thanks again!!!
