Sep 15.2003

here is a link to the page I am working on:
[url]http://www.bruehlus.com/bigarm.html[/url]

I am tring to pass a value from an iframe to a form on the parent page but cannot seem to get it to work.

here is the code in the iframe:
<div onClick=”parent.passpro(Big Arm 1 seater);”>

on the parent I have this in the head:
<script language=”JavaScript”>
function passpro(str) {
order_form.pro.value = ‘str’;
}
</script>

and a form in the parent:
<form name=”order_form”>
Product:<br />
<input type=”text” size=”15″ name=”pro” value=”” />

@travisbauthorSep 15.2003 — I did figure out the soluition, but I also have a new question.

here is the code in the iframe:

<div onClick="parent.passpro('Big Arm 1 seater');"> //added single quotes

on the parent I have this in the head:

<script language="JavaScript">

function passpro(str) {

document.order_form.pro.value = 'str';

}// added document

</script>

My new question is can I pass more than one value when the user clicks the link. For example I add the model number:

<div onClick="parent.passpro('Big Arm 1 seater, 34051');">

@Khalid_AliSep 15.2003 — yes you can do that as a matter of fact you can pass arrays as well or an array of values..

@travisbauthorSep 15.2003 — I am having trouble trying to get multiple values in an array like this:

in the iframe:

<div onClick="parent.passpro('prod_array[]:[Big Arm 1 seater][35401]');">

and putting them in the form on the parent with:

function passpro(array[]) {

document.order_form.pro.value = array[0];

document.order_form.mod.value = array[1];

}

Success!
