Hello All,

I was wondering if someone here could help me find a simple solution to a issue that I have been researching for a few hours including some postings here. I want to be able to pass variables to a nested page in a frameset and I want to use the simplest way possible. For example using hidden form fields etc... We all know that using an URL string one can pass variables such as this example [google.ca ]. I would like the same result but rather in a frame within a frameset, again using very simple methodologies. Any input would be apreciated.

Thanks,
Topo

To the best of my knowledge isnt it exactly the same?
I thought when you use frames you have one page that controls all the frames and then seperate pages making the content.

E.g

Frames.html contains the details for leftframe and rightframe, filenames handily leftframe.html and rightframe.html.
So to send to one of those it is simply a case of sending the data to the filename of the frame in question?

Someone please correct me if im wrong....

Hi MonkeyBoyUK,

That is where my line of thought is going but with my lack of skills I am unable to come up with a working model. Any ideas or could you post an example?

Hello,

If I wanted to pass data through form hidden fields to a frame called searchFrame in another page how would I format those hidden fields? And would JavaScript be better equipped to handle this task?
