Post your code or, better still, a link to a test page. Also have a read of this article.

Thanks for the reply

the code goes as follows

function getpage(val)
 {
 //alert(num);
 self.location='page2.html?'+val;  
 
 document.frame2.txt2.value =val;
 
 
  }
 
 

here val is the value to be passed
self.location replaces the page at that frame with the given html page
frm2 if the frame in the new page
txt2 is the control where i want the val to be saved in the second page

but this is not working fine . it does go to the second page but the val is not shown in the textbox of second page

please help

Since you're changing the location of the current page, the rest of the code won't execute. You are passing the value in the URL, so use the location.search property in the new page, page2.html. You can set the textbox value onload.

Hi i did that in the new page as below
var query =window.location.search;

......script...................

document.frm2.txt2.value=window.location.search.su bstring(1);

..........
frm2 is the frame name in new page
the value is being passed i can get it in alert box
but it is not substituted in the textbox txt2
the error its showing up is 'the document.frm2.txt2' is null or not an object
thanks

So now we're getting somewhere. Post the code for the new page.

[sindhu]

for sending page

 function change_page(num)
  {
     //alert(num);
     self.location='page2.html?'+num;  
  }
 

for receiving page

[HTML]<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
var query =window.location.search;
alert(query.substring(1));
document.frm2.txt2.value=query;
</script>[/HTML]

[sindhu]

here is the script in both the pages


for sending page

   function change_page(num)
   {
     //alert(num);
      self.location='page2.html?'+num;  
   }
 

for receiving page

         <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
          var query =window.location.search;
          alert(query.substring(1)); 
             document.frm2.txt2.value=query;
         </script>
 

thanks for such a quick reply

Is the code in the receiving page in the head. If it is, the textbox will be undefined. Put the code in a function and call it body/window onload.

Please use code tags when posting code. Thanks!
