I have a web page. On the page there is an IFrame and in that IFrame there is a web page with a Form in it. The forms name is 'bhimaform' and the form contains a text box called 'bhimatext'. In the main web page, the one with the IFrame in, there is also a button. When you click the button, it calls up a javascript function called bhima(). bhima() at the moment does nothing but I want it to make the value of the text box in the web page in the IFrame to change to 'bhima'. What do I write in the bhima() function to make this happen?:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Does it work for you?
PS: I modified your script a bit because it didn't work AT ALL at first.

I tested my method above before posting and found that all was well.
A full 13% of users do not use JavaScript and some use browsers that do not understand IFRAMEs. You need to use JavaScript to draw the button to avoid embarrassing yourself.
Your problem is a security thing. You're not allowed to play around with other people's forms.

I was just using that page in the IFrame as an example.
