No, you're making sense. That's an interesting approach. The one pitfall I see is that in order to refer to the top frame's field, I'd have to use JavaScript to get the value (parent.topFrame.fieldname.value) and then write the bottom frame out entirely in JavaScript. Outside of that, I don't see how I could get at the value via JavaScript, set it to a CF variable, and then use the resulting CF variable to write the page using standard markup. Does that make sense?
