[thelist] Using variables in DOM object names

[VOLKAN ÖZÇELİK]

Ryan,

There is a syntax error in your eval.

var objFrom = eval("opener.formOne."+fieldnames[i]);
var objTo = eval("opener.formTwo."+fieldnames[i]);
objTo.value = objFrom.value;

should do the trick. Though I have not tested.

You had better use a js debugger imho. 

Venkman is a good debugger for mozilla-based browsers. for msie you
may use microsoft script debugger.

HTH,
Volkan.
