I always hesitate to reply when frames are involved. Something is out of phase here. If you are executing getValue() successfully on a static text field, this means that you are doing it _before_ the page is displayed. This is because static text values are not returned when a page is displayed and then called back to via a button or href. If you are getting null when executing getValue() on the hidden field, it would be because the value has not yet been assigned to the hidden field at the point you are trying to get it. When you do 'view source' and see the value, that is because the hidden field was assigned a value after the point that you executed 'getValue()' on it, and then the value was included in the HTML when the page was sent to the browser. -- Curt Springer, Team ND At 06:28 AM 1/19/00 -0800, Tony Yan wrote: >I have a frameset with three frames.
