Copying an associative array from one frame to another

Don
Using JS, how do I copy an associative array from one frame to another?

Here's what I tried, and didn't work.

In "main" frame referencing "header" frame:

var cookies = new Object();
cookies = parent.header.c ookies;

Actually, I'm having the same problem with copying a simple variable. The error message says the
object is undefined or null.

Could it be a timing race between the two frames? Data I'm trying to copy has to be resolved first
in the header frame. There's no human intervention involved, just simply the time to load the
frames and execute them. Does the execution of the statements involving data from another frame
pause until that data is available?

Thanks for any help.
Don

I take that back, I can successfully copy simple variables with no problem. But, still can't copy
an associative array. Still get undefined or null.

I finally got the array to copy properly, but still have a timing problem. See my new post below.

Thanks,

Or why I just did myArray = "Computers" but myArray.length is showing 0. What a hey? There is a new trend to treat arrays and hashes as they were some variations of the same thing. But they are not at all. If you are doing *array", then you have to use only integer values for array index, as it was since ALGOL.

I am a javascript newbie working on a script that checks whether a "path" from one element in an array to another is "blocked." Currently, the script pushes an already processed cell index (hence an integer) into an array. To prevent rechecking already processed cells, the script iterates through the (sorted) array to see whether that integer is an element of the array. After reading about javascript arrays a bit more, I thought...

Hello everyone. I am not fluent in JavaScript, so I might overlook the obvious. But in all other programming languages that I know and that have associative arrays, or hashes, the elements in the hash are alphabetically sorted if the key happens to be alpha numeric. Which I believe makes sense because it allows for fast lookup of a key.
