comunicating between frames

Khaiya

I am writing a huge program, which was working but now is not. It says that some of my variables that are from another frame are null or not an object.

I'm using the method of comunicating where you call variables from input textboxes by using this

(javascript)

top.framename.formname.varname.value

Is there some quirky thing about this ^ that I should know about?
Is there something that stops it from working if you do?
Should the textbox's name be specified by id or name?
Sigh...this is really frustrating because it's stopping my whole program from working.

The syntax you've posted should work as far as the names of individual object are found.

The easies way is to install Firebug, see if it produces any errors, set breakpoints and explore value of variables at various stages of the program execution.
