Form data persistent in objects afer population of data from paren

F

Frank H. Shaw

This script is contaned in a child window we have no problem getting the
correct text ie data to the objects in the form. the problem is we have a
exact file saved to the desktop extension is .html when we double click on
the desktop the form comes up in another browser and the same infomation text
ie data is still in the form IT SHOULD HAVE NO DEFAULT INFORMATION in the
form. this means what is happening? Are we getting some kind perstistant with
the objects containing the data. Note: both browsers are open and displayed
on the screen. What we want is one contains the data passed from the parent
window the other should have cleared of information. I feel we need to
destroy the objects and variables after populating the first form. Could you
review the code below and explain how to do this or what you thank will solve
our problem. THANKS

<BODY text=#000000 bgColor=#ffffff onload="getbakord();">

<form name=trans>
<input type=button name=info>
<input type=button name=fin>
</form>

<script>
var locate = window.location;
document.trans.info.value = locate;
var text = "document.trans.info.value";
var teva;
var gbo;

function delineate(str)
{
point = str.lastIndexOf("#");
return(str.substring(point+1,str.length));
}
delineate(text)
function getbakord()
{
var teva = "delineate(text)";
document.trans.fin.value = [teva]
if ("teva == eatme"){
var gbo = "Please notify me when U.S. DIVERS COZUMEL SEABREEZE SET is in
stock!"
window.document.theform.selbox.value = "Backorder"
window.document.theform.comments.value = [gbo]
}
}
</script>

Your script throws errors
(neither selbox or comments are defined and theform is not a defined object)
window.document.theform.selbox.value = "Backorder"
window.document.theform.comments.value = [gbo]
