Accepting Variables

[3s2ng]

When I perform This javascript Inside the form

<script>
alert(parent.document.magicdesignform.SelectedCategory.value);
</script>

A popup will show with a value of SelectedCategory

By the way.
magicdesignform is the name of my form
SelectedCategory is a hidden field

These variables are comming from the other page.

In the page where magicdesignform is located i have a flash that get all this variables through javascript.

Yap I know. My codes are Php and I only used that javascript code to verify if the variables are existing from the parent document. And indeed it is existing but i dont know how to display that value to PHP

GET method:

<script type="text/javascript">
window.location = 'http://mysite.com/php/myscript.php?selected=' + escape(parent.document.magicdesignform.SelectedCategory.value) + ';';
</script>

Or, to retrieve via the POST method, create a form on this window, have a hidden element called 'TheValue', and use this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
this.document.hey.TheValue.value = parent.document.magicdesignform.SelectedCategory.value;
this.document.hey.submit();
</script>
