hello,
I need assistance on this java script function.

i have the following code in an inline frame

On check, the value appears in the textarea, in the inline frame. How do i get the value to appear in the parent window textarea ?

thanks

INLINE FRAME CODE


<script>
function boxClicked(o) {
var total = "", count = 0;
var form = o.form;
// use the checkbox name from html above
var boxes = form["box"];
for(var i = 0; i < boxes.length; i++) {
if(boxes[i].checked) {
total += boxes[i].value + " ";
count++;
}
}
form.total.value = total;
form.count.value = count;
}
</script>

CODE IN TEXT AREA, In the inline frame. However i would want to the value written to the text area not in the inline frame, but written to the parent window

[CODE]
<form method="POST" action="index.asp" name="test">

<input name=box type="checkbox" onClick="boxClicked(this)" value="xyz">
<input name=box type="checkbox" onClick="boxClicked(this)" value="abc">
<input name=box type="checkbox" onClick="boxClicked(this)" value="123">
[/CODE]

Finally got it to work, phew... Am not really a jscript guy though.

parent.document.getElementById('total').value = total;

and changed the ID of the textarea
