javascript

HELP

I have a web page with 3 frames on a page. I am moving information from one frame to other using java script. An example of the line i am using is:

parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad.goalkeeper1_id.value=play;

selectsquad is the frame name
SelectSquad is the form name

When in ie 5 I have no problems the value of play moves across to the text box goalkeeper1_id no problem. However when I run the same page in netscape navigatopr 4.7 I get the following error message :

parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad has no properties.

Do I access the frame diffently in netscape?

Try using alerts to figure out where your objects are.

var myframe = parent.selectsquad;
var myform = parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad;

alert('frame: ' + myframe + '\nform: ' + myform);

I think you've got the frame identified, but I'll bet there's something wrong with the way your addressing the form. Maybe it hasn't been created yet.

Also, try using the frames[], forms[], and elements[] arrays to get at the object. Try testing them by returning the length of each.

If parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad.goalkeeper1_id is a selectbox you have to use this to make it work in both browsers:

parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad.goalkeeper1_id[parent.selectsquad.SelectSquad.goalkeeper1_id.selected].value

I think IE automatically knows that you want to know the value of the selected item of the selectbox, but somehow NN does not.

Maybe this was not your problem?

parent.selectsquad.document.SelectSquad.goalkeeper1_id.value=play;
