Passing text to a frame in a window

BrendanMcPherson · Aug 6, 2006

Hello
Im trying to make this application that does this.
The user enters text in a window clicks GO and then a new window opens
with the text in a frame.

I assume I put the text in the URL.
But how do I get the frame on the next window to take the text
and put it in its textbox.

form.htm =

<html>
<body>
<form target="_blank" method="get" action="frameset.htm">
<input type="text" name="T">
<input type="submit" value="Go">
</form>
</body>
</html>

frameset.htm =

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write('<frameset rows="350,*">')
document.write('<frame src="http://www.google.com">')
document.write('<frame src="myframe.htm?'
+location.search.substring(1)+'">')
document.write('</frameset>')
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

myframe.htm =

<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
pVal = location.search.substring(1)
pVal = pVal.replace(/^T=/,'')
document.write( pVal )
</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>

Hope this helps,

Ah yes I forgot, just before the document.write command, there should
be something like:

pVal = unescape( pVal )
