Send value to a different frame

[mattejonss]

Hi all!

I wonder how i can send a value (like "...test.php?nice=2...") to a page in a different frame? If i just write as above test.php will load in the same frame as it was sent from.

And it is not a link!

Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!

you send it through a form...

say the frame was called _myframe.

you make a form in test.php that looks like this

<form name="myform" method="post" target="_myframe">
 <input type="hidden" name="nice" value="2">
</form>

and you submit it with onclick="javascript:myform.submit();" as an attribute for wherever you want to submit the form from.

Thanks for your fast reply!

Ok. Its almost works.
One prob left...
Why doesnt it work when I put in a var inside the value quotes?

This wont work.... but why?

<input type="hidden" name="nice" value="<?test?> ">

<?=$test?>

you forgot the =... and if test is a variable, it should start with a $

the correct syntax is really
<?php echo $test;?>

but you can use <?=$test?> as a shortcut...

its called "syntactic sugar"

the one thing my Scheme professor actually taught me :-)

that guy was a wanker....
