Setting input value in parent from iframe

Luongo

Hi, I need to change the value of a text input (onmousemove) in the parent document from an iframe, based on what an iframe variable is.

I tried this code along with several others but can't seem to get it to work:

(in the iframe)
window.parent.points.mapvalues.value = tempX;

Any help would be appreicated. Thanks....

You can try this:

window.parent.[top_frame_name].document.[form_name].[text_name].value

the items in [ ] should be replaced and the [ ] should be removed.

Thanks dswethar.

The document clause is what I was missing in my combinations.

This (slightly) shorter combo also works for me:

parent.document.formname.textname.value

Did it work in firefox too? Because if its working in IE, it might not be a standard sometimes and will not work in other browsers.
