Thanks bob/kieran,
- I used INPUT() and it works ok.
- I'm still sorting out the DOM structures in my head... but it'll
make sense soon.
now I'm sure I already know the answer to this... but I guess I'll ask
the experts: Is there anyway to side-step the browser security to
enter a form field value in a foreign window/page. ie, copy the DOM or
something?
Cheers :)
