Update window w/tabbar from Parent

Hi!

I have a text input field on page with a tabbar iframe window that I need to update from parent.

It works flawlessly in Firefox, but IE gives the following error:

“tabbar.cells(…)._frame.contentDocument’ is null or not an object”



Here is my codeline:

tabbar.cells(“b1”)._frame.contentDocument.getElementById(“myfield”).value=“newvalue”;



Do you have any suggestions?

Hello,

try the following approach instead of one that you use:

var win = tabbar.tabWindow(“b1”);
win.document.getElementById(“myfield”).value=“newvalue”;

This works in IE but not firefox.
My current workaround is as follows:

   if ( tabbar.cells(“b1”)._frame.Document )
   tabbar.cells(“b1”)._frame.Document.getElementById(“myfield”).value=“newvalue”;
        else
           tabbar.cells(“b1”)._frame.contentDocument.getElementById(“myfield”).value=“newvalue”;

Not pretty, but it works

I’m sorry, I see that my respons was a bit hasty.
I’ll try your code.
Thanks.
