This answers one of your other posts also.
You need to give the element where you want to write the value to an id and then write to the id.
document.write("itemname");
won't do it
lets say your iframe is named container ( see answer to your earlier post )
and you want to write itemname to a place inside of container, for example a cell in a table.
<td id = "nameofitem">
document.all.container.nameofitem.innerHTML = "itemname" ;

Please don't take anything I say as a "put down" because it is not meant to be that way
All of your "global" variables that are goin to be used in page1 and page 2 need to be named here.
either by physically declaring them, or placing them in a .js file and calling it.
1. These variable names **must** be global and established as such when the main page loads
2. Variable names **must** begin with a letter and "should" only contain letters and numbers.
abc1 is oj
d1ef is ok
rumplestiltskin is ok
_abc is not ok
id names must be letters and numbers just like variables.
You can't perform a mathimatical function simply by placing it in an id tag.
You must have javascript perform the math as part of creating a new variable, and then write the
variable to the id using
document.all.adddecumal.InnterHtml = "newvariablename";
That said, it appears you're trying to jump into the deep end of the javascript pool without
sticking your toe in the water first.
Go here: http://www.gatescript.com/default.asp and start reading and playing with the example
scripts.
It is an excellent learning tool.
