JS Function to Insert Values Across Child Frames - Need Help

[RoRNoob]

I'd like the bar.html file to take the values contained in hidden
fields and stuff them into the form fields found on mymessagebox.html.
I can get it working no problem if it is all on the same page, but I'm
having trouble getting it to work across pages via the index.html
frames. Any help is appreciated.

code:

----- application.js -----

function inject_message() {
$('messagesubject').value = $F('hidden_subject');
$('messagebody').value = $F('hidden_body');
}

function clear_message() {
$('messagesubject').value = "";
$('messagebody').value = "";
}

----- index.html -----

<frameset rows="5%, 95%">
<frame src="bar/bar" name="bar">
<frame src="bar/mymessagebox" name="mymessagebox">
</frameset>

----- bar.html -----

<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %> <!-- this loads application.js
-->

<a href='javascript:inject_message()'>inject me</a> | <a
href='javascript:clear_message()'>clear me</a>

<input type="hidden" id="hidden_subject" name="hidden_subject"
value="Hi there"/>
<input type="hidden" id="hidden_body" name="hidden_body" value="My
cool message"/>

----- mymessagebox.html -----

<div>

<div>
<p>Subject:</p>
<div>
<div>
<input type="text" style="width: 450px;" tabindex="1"
id="messagesubject" name="messagesubject"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>

<div>
<p>Body:</p>
<div>
<textarea style="width: 450px;" tabindex="2" id="messagebody"
cols="20" rows="20" name="messagebody"/>
</textarea>
</div>
</div>

</div>

Whenever you need to save information (state) across pages, you may
find PHP Sessions of help. You can take form data, POST it to server,
and save the values as SESSION variables.

var f1 = parent.mymessagebox.document.forms[0];
var f2 = parent.bar.document.forms[0];

f2.messagesubject.value = f1.messagehydden.value;

or something like that (little lost in your code)

you can also in JS send variables attached to the url ...

But here it is only a question to send values from window to window (and
their documents) and no help from server is needed
