[RESOLVED] Need an assist w/javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 05.2009

I’m adapting the “lookup script” for use on my website. (see article, this website: script at [url]http://www.webreference.com/js/column15/code1.html[/url] )

I would like to place it in the left frame of my homepage and have it display resulting URL from the “Lookup” in the right frame. Seems like it should be simple, but I’m very new to this stuff.

Clues/help??? Please???

Thanks,
Art

var list = document.organizer.list;
if (list.selectedIndex > -1) // if an option is selected
[COLOR="Blue"]rightFrameName.[/COLOR]location.href = list.options[list.selectedIndex].value;
}

@BrestaeauthorApr 05.2009 — I tried the suggestion by FANG, rightFrameName.location.href

That causes the entire left frame (where the script lives), to be displayed in the right frame, but without the script having returned its result. So the left frame simply gets reproduced in the right frame.

Further suggestion?

Thanks very much!

@FangApr 06.2009 — Is this the [I]name [/I]of the right frame?

What is the value returned by [I]list.options[list.selectedIndex].value[/I]

@BrestaeauthorApr 06.2009 — Thanks for replying again...

I figured it out. Had to add [B]parent.[/B]rightFrameName.location.href =

Thanks for the push... that got me barking up the right tree!
