I'm trying to pass the contents of the form in the left frame to the form in the right frame. Its working locally with the below code, however when I try to fill out a form on an external URL I receive an access denied error.

# index.html
--------------------

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>My Frameset</title>
</head>

<frameset cols="300,*" frameborder=1>
<frame name="left" src="pass-textbox-framesl.html">
<frame name="right" src="pass-textbox-framesr.html">
</frameset>

<noframes>
<body><p>Your browser does not support frames.</p></body>
</noframes>
</html>

# pass-textbox-framesl.html

<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- //
function Transfer(here, there)
{
there.elements['text1'].value = here.elements['text1'].value;
there.elements['text2'].value = here.elements['text2'].value;
there.elements['text3'].value = here.elements['text3'].value;
there.elements['text4'].value = here.elements['text4'].value;
there.elements['text5'].value = here.elements['text5'].value;
return true;
}
// -->
</script>
</head>

<body>

<form>
<p>Name: <input type="text" name="text1" size="16"></p>
<p>Address: <input type="text" name="text2" size="16"></p>
<p>Address 2: <input type="text" name="text3" size="16"></p>
<p>Town: <input type="text" name="text4" size="16"></p>
<p>County: <input type="text" name="text5" size="16"></p>
<p><input type="button" value="Transfer"
onclick="return Transfer(this.form, top.frames['right'].document.forms[0])"></p>
</form>

</body>
</html>

# pass-textbox-framesr.html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"

<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Right Frame</title>
<html>
</head>

<body>

<form action="">
<p>Text1: <input type="text" name="text1" size="16"></p>
<p>Text2: <input type="text" name="text2" size="16"></p>
<p>Text3: <input type="text" name="text3" size="16"></p>
<p>Text4: <input type="text" name="text4" size="16"></p>
<p>Text5: <input type="text" name="text5" size="16"></p>
</form>

</body>
</html>

What am I missing here?

We fill in the shipping details on our couriers website on a daily basis and Im hoping its possible to pass our customer details straight to their forms

If the two pages are on different domains you will get this error.
Perhaps you can use the technique described in the page below(the second form submission is done on the server side using PHP):
submit a form using PHP

I have the same idea with you. Great! Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear you're using this: I plan to keep it much more aggressively up-to-date than has been the case in the past, but don't hesitate to let me know if you find errors or need clarifications.

Thanks for the code update. I tried it on one of my scripts.
