@pyroJul 29.2003 — If I understand you correctly, something like this should work:

parent.document.formname.inputname.value = document.formname.inputname.value;

One more question: If I want to submit the form contained in my "sub" iframe from my outer "main" frame, will it work I

say

document.subform.submit(); from my outer Iframe?

@pyroJul 29.2003 — You would need to use something like this:

top.outeriframename.inneriframename.document.formname.submit();

Or you could try (though I'm not certain it will work)

self.inneriframename.document.formname.submit();

If you try the second method, let me know if it works.
