Complicated Frames - Getting values

[sathysudha]

Friends

I have two frames.
frame1 and frame2
In frame2 i will display all the products with one checkbox for each product.

What i need is?
when the user selects the products name in frame2.

the name of the product should come one by one in the frame1.
if the user selects more than 1 product i have to display

You have selected the following products
1. Compaq
2. HP
3. Dell
4. Pentium


That's all.
its very urgent. Can anyone help me pls?

Thanks

frme 2 frame communication can be done using the followin syntax

parent.frameName.document.formName.elementName.value

now in your case you want a value to be printed in the one of the frames

suppose youwant to print values in frame1 ( we presume thats the name of the frame)

now if you are selecting values in a list box in the frame 2

get the value using the onchange event call of th eselect element

put a div tag in the page that is being displayed in frame1
<div id="data"></div>

and now print the value in the frame1

suppose value selected from list box is this

value = document.formName.listBoxName.options[document.formName.listBoxName.selectedIndex].value

var obj= parent.frame1.document.getElementById("data");
obj.appendChild(document.createTextNode(value));

I am not able to get the checkbox value in the frame2.

Frame2:

<table>
<tr>
<td width="50%"><input type="checkbox" name="img1" value="Compaq"></td>
<td width="50%"><input type="checkbox" name="img2" value="HP"></td>
<td width="50%"><input type="checkbox" name="img3" value="Dell"></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type=button name=but value=Add onClick="parent.frame1.getElementById('d').innerHTML = parent.frame2.img1.value">



Frame1:
<div name=d></div>


if he checks the img1 checkbox then i have to add in the frame1's div as

You have selected
1. Compaq

if he selected again the second one
then

You have selected
1. Compaq
2. HP

if he selected again the third one then

You have selected
1. Compaq
2. HP
3. Dell

Can you or anyone help me out this.

thanks

to me it looks like this line is not correct

parent.frame1.getElementById('d').innerHTML

it chould be something like this

parent.frame1.document.getElementById('d').innerHTML

and if you have problems referencing your frames this way
use

parent.frames[frameIndex]......
