passing a variable to a frame

[Anon]

Im trying to pass a variable to a frame inside a frameset, using a 'simulated get method'. Heres what the javascript generating tue URL looks like:

<input type="button" value="Åpne Chat-gruppe"
onclick ="url = 'http://www.stud.ntnu.no/~erostig/chatny/files/send_test.php+ '?subject=' + subject.value;
NewWindow(url, subject.value, '400', '600','yes');
return false;">

The page that recieves this is a frameset, but how to access the varible $subject from a frame inside this frameset. Or is there any other way of doing this, as this solution might be a bit clumsy?

I suggest the following:

When opening the pop-up containing the frameset, pass the variables to each of the individual frames as you put their SRC.

Also, you can call a frame from JavaScript by using this code:

parent.FrameName.document

So, for passing a var, you would use:

parent.FrameName.document.location.href = 'new.php?var1=1&var2=2';

Hope this helps

It worked. Thanks a lot - I was going mad over this!
