Hi,

I tried passing the parameter but at the recieving page, i receive a blank string. I tried 3 ways and following is the code:


<form name="frm" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="param1" value="val1">
<a href="http://host/directory/Frames.htm" onclick="javascript:fnSubmit()">FramePage</a></p>
</form>

<script language="javascript">
function fnSubmit()
{
frm.submit();
}
</script>

So that the parameter goes as name value pair. But i don't recieve anything at the recieving page.

<form name="frm" method="post">
href="http://host/directory/Frames.htm?param1=val1" onclick="javascript:fnSubmit()">FramePage</a></p>
</form>
<script language="javascript">

function fnSubmit()
{
frm.submit();
}
</script>

Here it doesn't display the page at all.


<form name="frm" method="post">
<a href="http://host/directory/Frames.htm" onclick="javascript:fnSubmit()">FramePage</a></p>
</form>
<script language="javascript">

function fnSubmit()
{
frm.action="http://host/directory/Frames.htm?param1=val1"
frm.submit();
}
</script>

Here, it shows the URL with the parameter and value but shows the page specified in href attribute and so doesn't pass the parameter value.

I capture the values at the secong page using 'location.search.substring(1)'

Could someone pls help.
Thanks.
