I have myself a frameset which is comprised of two pages. The first, a page with text input fields, and the second a dummy page which will show the output of the text input fields on the above frame.
On my first frame, I have six text input fields. I want to be able to type text into each of those fields, and have each field's value immediately represented as a variable which is updated every time I onblur it.
After I fill my fields, I want to click a link which will activate a javascript function to write the bottom page's content on the fly, which includes text, entity characters, and the aforementioned variable's values. However, I want the variable's values to be parsed and appear as what I typed into the text fields.
I understand how to write content on the fly, and have done so before using javascript object flow similar to parent.frame.[removed] and finishing it using parent.frame.document.close().
However this time, I'm having a bit of trouble. First, with getting the value of the text fields and putting them into a variable. I'm not using any submit buttons or anything, I just want the values to be updated from the fields to the next page. I believe I'd use the flow of document.form.name.value and attach that to a variable name, but I'm not sure if that's even working.
Secondly, when writing the bottom page on the fly, I want the values of the text fields to be represented as a varaible in my code, but parsed to show the value when the page is shown. I put the variables in my code in a write command, but I don't even have anything appearing at all.
Thirdly, when the bottom page is finally written out (and this is only extra), I'd like to see if I can get all of the text and variables parsed, and then put into a textarea for easy copying and pasting. However, I know that anything in a textarea isn't parsed, so I'm not sure how to first parse the information and then put it in a textarea.
If anybody can help, I'd appriciate it. And sorry for the lengthy explanation. I cut it a bit shorter than I originally was going to type it out, too.
