Interaction between tabs

I'm trying to get form element value from other tab.

For example,

There is page called main.html and it contains two tabs called A and B.

tabbar.addTab("A_tab", "A", "100px");
tabbar.addTab("B_tab", "B", "100px");

tabbar.setHrefMode("ajax-html");

tabbar.setContentHref("A_tab", "a.html");
tabbar.setContentHref("B_tab", "b.html");

And b.html contains one text field called text_b.
<input type="text" name="text_b" />

And I want to create button called "Get!" in a.html that
gets whatever is entered in text_b when clicked.

Is this possible?

Can i pass text_b value to a.html without submitting?

Hello,

you can use document.getElementById method:

<input type="text" name="text_b" id="text_b"/>

var value = document.getElementById("text_b").value;
