Which value do you want to pass?

[sindhu]

Hello,
I want to pass the selected value of dropdown list to next page based on the selction of a menu in the same frameset

Please help me out

[acoder]

I've split and merged some posts into this new thread.

Post the code for the drop down box. When you say you want to pass to the page, where should it be available? Does some element's value need to be set? Show the code for the page that the value has to be passed to.

there are three frames.
frame1 - mainmenu
frame2- submenu
frame3-display pages based on submenu

The dropdown is in all the pages that i'm displaying in frame3 by using submenu.the selections are

<select id="ddbx" class="textBlackMedium"  style="width: 87px" name="ddbx" onchange="switch"> 
          <option>OP 1</option>
            <option>OP 2</option>
          <option>OP 3</option>
            <option>OP 4</option>
</select>
 

now when i select 1in submenu, i'm loading the frame3 with 'page1' in which i've the dropdown shown above.
now if i change the selection to 'OP 2' in the dropdown, and select submenu item to load 'page2' in the frame three replacing 'page1' , i want the dropdown in that page to be having the selcted value 'OP 2'.

below is the code to change the pages in frame3

[HTML]<tr style="width:111px;height:30px"><td >
<a onmouseover="swapImage()" onmouseout="swapImgRestore()" target="right_bottom" href="page1html" >
<img id="img1" src= "Images1" alt="1" name="img1" border="0"/></a></td></tr>
<tr ><td >
<a onmouseover="swapImage()" onmouseout="swapImgRestore()" target="right_bottom" href="page2.html">
<img id="img2" src= "Images/2" alt="2" name="img2" border="0"/></a></td></tr>
[/HTML]
this is the sub menu with two options. target='right_bottom' , here right_bottom is the name of frame3. i'm using href to chnge the page on change.

now i wnt the changed value in dropdown of any page to be reflected in the pages after changing the submenu selection

In your onchange function call, get the selected value of the drop down, e.g. document.getElementById("ddbx").value (you will need to set the value of each option). Then access the frame, e.g. parent.right_bottom and set the value of the drop down by setting its value.

Hello i'm able to fetch the value of the selected dropdown box from the dropdown and save it in a 'temporary variable'(like assigning it to a hidden button value) in the submenu frame. now i'm calling another page from submenu using href="page2"
during this call i want to pass the selected index value stored in temporary variable.

how do i do this in href="page2.html?"

What do i need to include after the question mark?

the temporary value is in


<input name="btn_hid" id="btn_hid" style="position:absolute; left: 17px; top: 106px;visibility=hidden">
</input>

and i'm calling the page in href as below

<a onmouseover="swapImage('img_md','','Imagest1.jpg', 1)" target="right_bottom" href="page2.html" >
<img src= "Images2.jpg" alt="img2" name="img_md" border="0"/>
</a>



href ib bold is the point from where i'm passing the value to page2.html and assigning it to dropdown in that page

thanks

[acoder]

You could use document.getElementById("btn_hid").value to get the value.

Pass it using page2.html?val=...

[sindhu]

i'm stuck at this point itself.

i'm able to fetch the value in button using

<script lang=javascript>
             var sel= document.frm.btn_id.value
</script>
 

But in href=" page2.html?val=sel" that value will not be fetched but a blank value or "?val=sel" appears.

is the way i'm including the value right or its different

[acoder]

Give the link an id and then change the href:

var link = document.getElementById("link");
link.href = "page2.html?val="+sel;

[sindhu]

Its working perfectly.
Thanks alot
