hi,
I’ve a page where there are two frames, one is the top frame, where there is a timer running, and the bottom frame has a text box in which user types content, now i need to capture whatever content is there when the timer expires. how do i access the text box content from the top frame where the time is running?

thanks,
karthik

@gil_davisAug 31.2007 — window.top.frameName.document.formName.textBoxName.valueFill in the appropriate text for frameName, formName and textBoxName. Hopefully you did not call one of your frames "top" because that is a reserved word.
