Multiple Forms in Frameset

[BLarche]

I asked this question earlier, but here is my problem. I have a popup window with a frameset. In one frame I have radio buttons and in the other frame, I have the submit button for those radio buttons. How do I link these two forms together? I have an onsubmit button that passes the values of the radio buttons to a dropdown menu and automatically closes the window.

In reply to my original post. If you guys goto the following website, you will see the problem I am having.

Click on "Select Image" on the right hand side of the page.

Thanks for your help.

The "submit" button in the one frame should look like this:

<input type="button" value="submit main form" onclick="parent.frames['mainframename'].document.forms['formname'].submit();" />

Okay. I also have a function called setValue(); that I need to be executed when the form is submitted. How do I add this value as well?

 

[cLFlaVA]

which form?

I need to incorporate it into the submit button. The javascript is in the Top frameset with the function.

so, it should work. if you're calling the js from the main frameset's form's onsubmit event, then calling the submit() event as I showed you will submit the main form, causing the code to be called.

Yes, but when are we calling the function "setValue();"? I need this function to be called when you submit the button, correct? Currently when I press the submit button, it does nothing. If you goto the website I posted above and view the code, you will see waht is going on. Or I can paste the code here.

<form name="outputForm" onsubmit="return setValue();">

I did not, however, check to see if the function would run correctly. With that line of code, if your function returns false, then the form will not submit. If it returns true, the form will submit.

Hmm, still not working. Where if any, do I add the process and action properties? Is that the reason for this not working?

 

[cLFlaVA]

huh?
I've never heard of process, but the action of the form goes in the form tag, and should be the name of the file you're submitting to.

<form name="outputForm" action="page.html" onsubmit="return setValue();">

Try putting
alert('here');

as the first line in your function to see if it gets called at all.

Yeah, which page exactly am I submitting this to though? A page in the frameset? Or the original page?

 

[cLFlaVA]

why are you asking me that? that's up to you!
