[Javascript] problem with parent

Fri Sep 3 10:09:57 CDT 2004

Hi Alexis

personally I will have use top as top refer to the top window and parent
refer to the parent window in your case it will work but don't get confuse
when you get more complicated frameset
You need to access the document in the frame that's why in NS mozilla it
doesn't work the way you done it earlier try this syntax
top.frame2.document.testForm.textField.value

just in case I built an examples pages

Regards

Laurent
