}

</head>
<body>
<input type='button' value='Search' onclick='Search();'>
<iframe name='PageTwo' src="PageTwo.htm" width='100%' height='100'>

You were not using square brackets where required and should be window.frames[]

While IE is very forgiving in these matters browers such as Mozilla, Firefox are not


PageOne.htm


<html>
<head>
<script language='JavaScript'>

function Search() {
alert(window.frames["PageTwo"].document.forms["Members"].elements["Search"].value);
}

</script>
</head>
<body>
<input type='button' value='Search' onclick='Search();'>
<iframe name='PageTwo' src="PageTwo.htm" width='100%' height='100'>
</body>
</html>

Make sure that "PageTwo.htm" is in the same directory as the page calling it.

This is going to be a problem. Because page2.htm is on a different server...getting data from an extern database?? Is there a solution for this. Is there a way to make this work when two files aren't in the same map.

you have to use the full address for page two then.

src="http://othersite.com/PageTwo.htm"

You cannot reference the contents of a page from another domain
