How to pass values to a form

Hi,
I use Dnn 5.4.4 and Iframe 4.4.0. I'm "iframing" the home page of site1 into a page of site2. I've created 2 user custom properties for portal site2. For each user I've filled these 2 value.
I need to pass these values to 2 textboxes prensent on site1 home page. The homepage's html form code is:

<form name="Form1" method="post" action="homepage.aspx" id="Form1">
    <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" value="dDw5MzI3NDg5ODM7Oz5xzH1yQXzatvNi/TEHW8N8OzMo+Q==" />
        <input type="submit" name="Button1" value="Enter" id="Button1" />
        <input name="TextBox1" type="text" id="TextBox1" />
        <input name="TextBox2" type="password" id="TextBox2" />
</form>

How to properly configure queryparameter in order to to pass values to the form? Can I let the textbox appear filled as user loads the page with iframe module?
Thank you!

Re: How to pass values to a form

To do this, you will need to take several steps:

1. Set up two QueryString Parameters inside IFrame Options screen - set them to Customer Property, and add your customer property name on the right and the name you want to be used in query string on the left.

2. On the IFrame'd home page, you'll need to add some code (either on server side or on client side - whatever is your preference) to read those two parameters from QueryString and to populate the corresponding textboxes.

Re: How to pass values to a form

Sure. In ASP.NET, for example, in Page_Load event, you can add something like this:

txtMyFirstTextbox.Text = Request.QueryString("my_first_param")
txtMySecondTextbox.Text = Request.QueryString("my_second_param")

Just make sure to test for nulls.
