Retrieving A Value From A Form

[FontanaS]

I have the following code that will set the value on the form to another web page text box that is open.

<!--ASSIGN UPLOAD VALUE TO THE PARENT FORM-->
<script type="text/Javascript">
VAR lvvar = ????????????????????????????????;
window.opener.document.getElementById('OrderFile1').value = 'lvvar';
</script>

The variable on the form that I need to get the value is called - attach1

The form is called - frmSend

Hod do I pass the value from the form to the lvvar variable. This isn't a function so i can't add it to the header. This code should run and not be called.

THANKS!

Usually I use server-side script to pass value to different pages.

You'll have to place the script tag somewhere below where the form element resides. You can't pull a form element's value until after the element is on the page. For example:

<script>
//reference form element here
</script>
<form element defined here>

will result in an error as you are trying to pull the value before the element is on the page

placing your <script> tags here instead will solve your problem:

<form element defined here>
<script>
//reference form element here
</script>

save that..... you can always use the onload handler for the page to pull the value, but you have to call a function from the handler, and as you said you're not using a function this won't be possible for you....
