<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>The issues is that I have a page
with 2 frames. A title bar, and the mapguide viewer. I want to
execute some code based on this original page’s URL.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>However, the map loads after
this page loads. So it would be worthless to try and execute code (zoom
to a parcel) in the original page. The task pane’s default page
would be a great place to do this. Just one problem. How do I get
variables from the original page to the task pane?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>When the map loads, it actually
loads about 6 pages. So passing variables to the first page means nothing
because those variables aren’t being passed to the next page, or the page
after that, or the page after that. Hence my issues is that I can’t
pass variables from the original page containing the map viewer to the task
pane or scriptframe which are frames embedded within frames embedded within
frames embedded within the original page.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Is there a way to pass variables from my default page (which
creates two frames – titleFrame and viewerFrame) to the task page page?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m having trouble storing session variables when the
map loads and retrieving them from the task pane afterwards. It’s
as if the session variables are expiring due to the fact that a new frame has
been created. And seeing as mapguide opens a bunch of pages once it
loads, I don’t think it would be feasible to rewrite the viewer code just
to continue passing along a few custom variables to the following pages.<o:p></o:p></p>
