parent and Iframe problem writing to textbox.

[orlando]

Can't seem to get this to work?

This function is in the Parent

Tried this does'nt work->

parent.document.generator1a.['frm2'].nameid.value="Welcome"

Tried this does'nt work, thats weird ->

parent.document.generator1a['frm2'].nameid.value="Welcome"

I did try without the parent.

document.generator1a['frm2'].nameid.value="Welcome"

this is frm2

<form action="#" name="generator1a">
<div>
<input style="color: pink; background-color: black" type='text'  name='nameid' id='nameid' value='0' />
</div>
</form>

To update the content of input field from document:

document.generator1a.nameid.value="Welcome"

To update [b]from parent[\b] an iframe content, try something like this (i'm not sure about the syntax):

document.frames[frm2].document.generator1a.nameid.value="Welcome"

Hmm did not work??
should I take it out of
'forms' 'generator1a' is form name I put the parent in there because it did not work with it or without

parent.document.frames[fr2].document.generator1a.usercounter7.value="Welcome"

Like this

parent.document.frames[fr2].document.usercounter7.value="Welcome"

[nika]

this code works in IE6:

document.frames["fr2"].document.generator1a.usercounter7.value="Welcome"

("fr2" is the name of iframe).

Regarding the parent issue - when you write 'parent.document' outside the iframe, you are getting to the parent of iframe parent

I am Using IE 7.0.
parent source I am not writing the full source its to large just
writing parts

did not work?.

<button type="button" onclick="reloadxx()">test call</button>

<script type="text/javascript">

alert("ready")



document.frames["fr2"].document.generator1a.usercounter7.value="Welcome"


alert("if it gets here it worked!")
}
</script>
