Hi,
This is partly a reference reminder for me, but as there are few examples on Google, I am adding it here. Hopefully it will help others...
Basically the code below shows how to reference form objects between HTML iFRAMEs for VBScript based HTA's.
Review the attachment for the basic form.
To move the value in value 1 (main window) to value 2 (iframe):
HTML (mainForm.hta)
VBScript (main.vbs)
HTML (iframeForm.htm)
VBScript (main.vbs)
The VBScript code is written in one vbs file that is referenced in both htm files using the following code place in the <head></head> tags:
The HTML code is written in two files, mainForm.htm. This has the IFRAME tag referencing iframeForm.htm:
Hope this helps. I will upload the three complete working files at some point soon.
