How can I have the following:

There are 2 pages. When a user clicks SAVE button on first page it brings up second page and changes some attributes on that (second) page. How can I do that?

Thanks, javaScripters.

@ck_net_2004Jun 30.2005 — You could pass a variable from one page to another through the URL.

for example:

on page one:
[code=php]
function pass_a_var(){
var a="dothis"
window.location.href='page2.htm?passvar='+a+';';
}
[/code]
on page 2:
[code=php]
function get_a_var(){
var a = window.location.toString();
if(a.indexOf("?")>=0){
var a=a.substring(a.indexOf("=") + 1, a.indexOf(";"));
alert(a);
}
}
[/code]

@thisObjectauthorJul 01.2005 — Cool but this is not what I want ?

I have a frameset. Frame one has name XYZ

I want to pass that name to Frame two. How would I do that?

thanks!

@ck_net_2004Jul 01.2005 — thisObject, Post the code for both of your pages.

@BigMoosieJul 01.2005 — Oh I reread your post.

top.frames["frameName"].variableName=data;

@thisObjectauthorJul 05.2005 — what does this return? top.frames["frameName"]. Does it return a page? So if I have an html or xml page it just returns it and then I can do someting like:

top.frames["top_frame"].getElementByName("custom")

???

Success!
