[Javascript] how to pass values to a frame

[David Lovering]

About the only thing I can add is that it sounds like you may need to build
a function that synchronizes the values between various fields in the forms
within your two frames.
Simply add a reference to each originating form as onsubmit='sync(this)' in
each of the forms declarations, and then make sure that it looks at all the
fields you need to match up.

I should mention that if you use POST methods to move stuff between your
forms and your handlers, ALL the forms variables get transported, and this
patch-and-fill becomes largely unnecessary.  Then all you need to do is add
a little routine in the header of each form to discover if a predefined
passed value exists (as per an outside call) for each of your synchronized
fields, and then write it into the local field of the equivalent name.
