JScript Coding Question - GoFuckYourself.com

WiredGuy · 03-07-2003, 04:14 AM

Ok, I'm a bit stumped on this, so hopefully someone can help:

Document A has an Invisible Frame and the rest of the page is visible, so: DOC 1 -> Frame A (hidden) and Frame B (full)

On Document 1 I have 2 Jscript variables (on the page that defines the frames). On Frame B I need to access the data stored in these 2 variables. How do I reference that data, I thought it would be top.window.VAR1 and top.window.VAR2 but I keep getting undefined.

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks
WG

Might want to try top.window.document.VAR1 and top.window.document.VAR2

If that doesn't work, then no clue. But goodluck.

Are all of the documents on the same domain? If the frames call documents on other domains there is no direct way to access the variables. The only way to communicate between two frames on different hosts is to pass data via the window.status variable.

Yes, both all documents (main page, hidden frame and visible frame) are all on the same domain. The main page calls two frames, the invisible one is called /blank.html and the visible one is /content/index.html

How do you use the window.status variable to pass data since I keep getting undefined errors. Any other suggestions will really help.

Thanks everyone.

Name the frames and collect the vals from the name instead

Frames are treated like windows in code. If the frames are inside another frame, your code won't work. You might want to try "window.parent.VAR1".

The data is stored in the root page, the one that calls the 2 frames. I can't move the data into the framed pages because this is dynamically generated.
