You can indeed do this in javascript. You need to put a FORM on the page in
the other frame and then access the data elements in that form with the
syntax
parent.frame[x].formname.elementname.value
or something along those lines.
This gets pretty ugly pretty quickly, IMO. Also, I think you could run into
some real problems if the user opens multiple browser windows for these
pages... you could easily get data that is out of sync with what is stored
on the server in the example you gave if the user opened two windows and
began modifying the data in the two forms in both windows.
I think you'd essentially be swapping one set of problems for another set of
problems.
