It would help if you could post a page, but let me make a couple
suggestions.

1. You can change the value of some text in a form field (i assume
text field) in another page like thus:

function appendField(DocID)
{
  var newID = DocID;
  myField = parent.frames["frameName" or frame array # like
0].formName.textFieldName;
  myField.value = myField.value + newID;
}

Not sure if you are using a text field or not. You can change
variables in the page the same way (parent.frames[0].variableName =
value).

HTH, ask more if not.
