Submit with using Frameset

[malambing57]

How do I submit using framet set. I want the top frame to submit the form on my bottom frame when time is up.


On my top frame, I have the following code;
if((min == 1) && ((sec >= 8) && (sec < 9 )))
{
document.frames[1].form1.action = "testBody2.asp";
document.frames[1].form1.target = "mainFrame";
document.frames[1].form1.submit();
}

Below is the code for my bottom frame
<form name="form1" method="post" action="testBody2.asp">
set no <input name="setNo" type="text" readonly="true" value="4">
name <input name="StudName" type="text">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>


The code for my top frame is not working. It is not submitting the form.

if((min == 1) && ((sec >= 8) && (sec < 9 )))
{
document.frames[1].form1.action = "testBody2.asp";
document.frames[1].form1.target = "mainFrame";
document.frames[1].form1.submit();
}

You are referencing the document in the top frame, the document in the top frame has no frames you need to access the frame document that is the document at the top level something like

if((min == 1) && ((sec >= 8) && (sec  < 9 ))) 
{      
    window.top.document.frames[1].form1.action = "testBody2.asp";
    window.top.document.frames[1].form1.target = "mainFrame";
    window.top.document.frames[1].form1.submit();
}

(I think)


Also next time please try to post Web Design problems in the web design forum, ta :)

I am working with frames and the top frame has a timer.
When time is over, it redirects the bottom frame to another page using the script below.

top.frames[1].document.form1.action = "test.asp";
top.frames[1].document.form1.target = "mainFrame";
top.frames[1].document.form1.submit();

test.asp has the following code
myAnswer=request.form("answers")

My problem is this;
Since the submit action was sent by the top frame, and the text box is on the bottom frame, I am getting a null value.
Is there a command where I can specify that the values for the request.form be extracted from the bottom frame.

I would appreciate any help as this had been driving me nuts.

Why not use a hidden text field in the top frame and in the bottom frame do an on change update the top hidden field. i don't completely get what your trying to do post some more code if you would.
