Can’t seem to get this to work?

This function is in the Parent

Tried this does’nt work->

[CODE]parent.document.generator1a.[‘frm2’].nameid.value=”Welcome”
[/CODE]

Tried this does’nt work, thats weird ?->

[CODE]parent.document.generator1a[‘frm2’].nameid.value=”Welcome”
[/CODE]

I did try without the parent.

[CODE]
document.generator1a[‘frm2’].nameid.value=”Welcome”
[/CODE]

this is frm2

[CODE]
<form action=”#” name=”generator1a”>
<div>
<input style=”color: pink; background-color: black” type=’text’ name=’nameid’ id=’nameid’ value=’0′ />
</div>
</form>

[/CODE]

@nikaJan 10.2009 — To update the content of input field from document:
[code=html]document.generator1a.nameid.value="Welcome"[/code]

To update [b]from parent[b] an iframe content, try something like this (i'm not sure about the syntax):



[code=html]document.frames[frm2].document.generator1a.nameid.value="Welcome"[/code]

@orlandoauthorJan 10.2009 — Hmm did not work??

should I take it out of

'forms' 'generator1a' is form name I put the parent in there because it did not work with it or without ?

[CODE]
parent.document.frames[fr2].document.generator1a.usercounter7.value="Welcome"

[/CODE]

Like this
[CODE]
parent.document.frames[fr2].document.usercounter7.value="Welcome"

[/CODE]

@nikaJan 10.2009 — this code works in IE6:
[code=html]document.frames["fr2"].document.generator1a.usercounter7.value="Welcome"[/code]

("fr2" is the name of iframe).

Regarding the parent issue - when you write 'parent.document' outside the iframe, you are getting [u]to the parent of iframe parent[/u]
