Hi

Actually you can read/write variables across frames:

Scenarie:

Frame 1 (name =3D "frame1") contains an array with some values in:
     Javascript:
     val filenames =3D new Array('autoexec.bat', 'system.ini');

     HTML:
     <a href=3D"javascript:void(top.frames
['frame1'].displayFilenames[top.frames['frame1'].filenames];)">Display
filenames</a>

Frame 2 (name =3D "frame2") wants to display these with checkboxes on:

     JAVASCRIPT:
     function displayFilenames(arrayElement) {
        display =3D ''
        for(var i =3D 0; i<arrayElement; i++) {
          display+=3D'<input type=3D"checkbox" value=3D"'+arrayElement[
i]+'" name
=3D"file'+i+'"> "+arrayElement[i]+'<br>';
       }
       filelist.innerHTML =3D display;
     }

     HTML:
     <div id=3D"filelist"></div>

Hope this will give you some ideas!

The essence is - I guess - that you can address between frames in
Javascript!

Hi,

Can we use javascript/vbscript to pass variable values between  two fra
mes?

Requirement:
In frame1 is am displaying list of filenames as  link
In frame2 i have the next and back button.
In frame 3 i am displaying the files

when i click the filename in frame1, i want the index of the  filename 
in
frame2. Is that possible?
