Let me clarify what I am doing

  1. leftframe.html needs to validate a textbox
  2. Once the left frame has been processed. It needs to notify the parent window, file1.html, so it can load the second frame (topo1.htm)

topo.htm doesn’t exist so the HTA app loads Page could not be found for that specific frame but it should change when we call function getWindowsUserName() from loadOtherFrame. The loadOtherFrame is called from the leftframe.html file as tjscience indicated.

When I run the HTA, the loadOtherFrame is being called (before the button click on leftframe.html)

    Edit to include passing text input along to parent page

    You can call a function in the parent page from the frame when the textbox is validated:

    JS IN Leftframe.html

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var validate = function () {
        // validate textbox input ...
        // call parent page function, passing the text from the input
        parent.loadOtherFrame(text);
    };
</script>

    JS in file1.html

    <script type="text/javascript">
    var loadOtherFrame = function (text) {
        // load other frame here ...
    };
</script>
