did you change the names (in bold) into corresponding ones?

textboxValue = top.frames["FrameNameHere"].document.formNameHere.textboxNameHere.value

please post the exact code you are using.

yes sir i have got it. i have changed the object names before only even though i made a small mistake.

can u help me in coding of java server pages. i have used the following code for "jsp2.jsp"

<html>
<body>
<form name="form1">
<input name=text1 value="hello">

<%
String s=request.getParameter("text1");
out.println(s);
%>
</body>
</html>

when iam running this it is running null value. if i includes the following tag it first returns null after pressing the button it is returning the value. why is it?

<input type=submit onsubmit="jsp2.jsp">

you can only request the value of a textbox when the form is submitted.
in your case, when the page first loads, request.getParameter will return null because there is no post/get data submitted, only then when you click submit (which submits to the same page, in your case), request.getParameter("text1") will return its value.

btw, what's the connection of this problem to your javascript problem?

there is no JSP forum here....
but i'll answer you just the same.

in your jsp2.asp:

<%
String s=request.getParameter("text1");
if (s==null) s="";
%>
<html>
<body>
<form name="form1" action="jsp2.jsp" method="post">
<input name=text1 value="hello" value="<%=s%>">
<%
out.println("This is what you entered: "+s);
%>
<input type=submit value="Submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

but going back to your javascript problem, did you solve it using my suggestion?
