Re: Grouping input from multiple frames
gordon,
Actually what I want to do is slightly different. I don't want my
javascript to generate the html for the third frame. What I want is
simplier than that. I want to use the javascript to call a custom URL
that will have the third frame as the target.
In this manner the JS will validate the input in the two frames, then
form a URL like:
http://www.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/myExecute?Data+data+data
and send this with the target being the bottom frame.
