I have a custom aspx page loaded in a IFrame in one of the modules in MS CRM 4.0. This page basically has 6 textboxes (txtValue1, txtValue2 and so on..) with values in it. I want to access these values through javascript code either on the load event or save event. Does anybody know how to do it ? I tried couple of codes that i got from net but nothing seems to work. Any help on this would appreciated.

Try the following snippet...

var textBox1Value = document.frames.IFRAME_NAME.document.all.txtValue1.value;

where IFRAME_NAME is the name of the IFRAME you define in the form customizations and txtValue1 is the id of the textbox on the IFRAME.

One little gotcha that's worth noting is that accessing the iframe via the document's frames collection won't let you read or write the src or url properties that I find myself dynamically changing every now and again. To access and change the properties, you'll need to access the iframe via getElementById.

var yourIframe = document.getElementById('IFRAME_NAME');

Note that if you access the iframe as above and you want to call a function that is available to the iframe's scripts, you have to call it via the contentWindow property:

yourIframe.contentWindow.someFuncOnIframePage();
