Quick JS question

[vass0922]

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function EditBox5_GetValue()
{
window.opener.document.theFCO.setVarValue("tempCom ments", document.forms[0].EditBox5.value);
}
</SCRIPT>


I want to set to an object to window.opener.document.theFCO

var objFCO = ... stuff... window.opener.document.theFCO

ActiveXObject(window.opener.document.theFCO) ???

I know how to do it in VBS but JS no go

[vass0922]

didn't realize this was a difficult question

I'm just trying to get something like

Set objFCO = window.opener.document.theFCO in JavaScript (not JScript)

[^hyd^]

do you just want a shorter reference to it for ease of coding? I'm pretty sure you should be able to use
var objFCO = window.opener.document.theFCO;
I know you can do it with some objects in js, but I'm not sure if it can be done with all of them.
what is 'theFCO'? a form?

how about
var objDoc = window.opener.document;
then use objDoc.theFCO
??

hhmmm, been awhile since I coded much... time for a new project!

g'luck vass! I'll check back.

var objFCO = window.parent.frames(0).document.theFCO; worked great

Duh.. whoda thought it was actually that easy

I think I tried that eariler but probably forgot the stupid semicolon
I'm a tard

Thanks hyd

theFCO is a 3rd party ActiveX control for software called Ultimus Workflow (www.ultimus.com)

kewl man!

wouldn't have thought it was from the semi-colon though! but I do try to make it a habit to always use them in js.

Not positive on this, but I think that there are two options: 1: you can get away without using any semi-colons at all(other than where required, ie: for loops) 2: as soon as you use one semi-colon on one statement, you gotta use it throughout...

but hey, if it works...!

cheers!
