passing values to showmodal dialog

I have parent.aspx web page from which I call a modal dialog (child.aspx via
showmodaldialog). I'd like to populate two text boxes, <asp:TextBox id=txt
_HN> on the child form with data from the caller.
for parent.aspx....
<script> block
function UpdH(title,horse)
{
var iParms=new Object();
iParms.Name=horse;
...}
for child.aspx...
<script> block
I've tried "document.getElementById('txt_HN').value=iParms.Horse;" within ch
ild.aspx form - but get error "document.getElementbyId(...) is null or not a
n object". How do I do this?David,
Try dialogArguments.window.document.getElementById....
using the following to open your window in java script:
var TestWindow = new Object();
TestWindow.caller = window.showModalDialog(URLstr, window, sFeatures);
replacing the parameters there with whatever you use as appropriate.
