Hi Toby! Thank you for your suggestion, but unfortunately you are using GET in your test2.html file. I specifically stated in my initial email that due to the fact that I am using textareas in my original form (your test1.html) that I did not want to use GET for it might run the risk of overstepping the bounds of how many characters the browser will accept in the GET string. Any other suggestions that anyone else has would be most appreciated as I am still pretty stuck on this. As always, thanks in advance! --Sam

I tried to recreate your problem: test.html <form name="myform1" method="get" action=""> <input type="hidden" name="myvar1" value="testing"> <script> window.open("test2.html", "test"); </script> </form> test2.html <BODY onLoad="document.forms[0].submit();"> <form name="myform1" method="get" action="test3.html"> <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="do_preview" VALUE="1"> <script> document.write('<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="itworks" VALUE="'+opener.myform1.myvar1.value+'">'); </script> </FORM> </BODY> test3.html <script language="Javascript"> function parseQueryString (str) { str = str ? str : location.search; var query = str.charAt(0) == '?' ? str.substring(1) : str; var args = new Object(); if (query) { var fields = query.split('&'); for (var f = 0; f < fields.length; f++) { var field = fields[f].split('='); args[unescape(field[0].replace(/\+/g, ' '))] = unescape(field[1].replace(/\+/g, ' ')); } } return args; } var args = parseQueryString (); for (var arg in args) { document.write(arg + ': ' + args[arg] + '<BR>'); } </script> And the output is: do_preview: 1 itworks: testing As should be expected... Pls try to specify your problem. toby
