Philip,
I pesume you are performing a function in frame 'A' which needs to set the
background poperty in frame 'B'??? This is how you do it (IE)...
In frame 'A' do a parent.chgBack()
In your frameset template setup function chgBack() to simply call function
B.chgImg()
In frame 'B' function chgImg() simple perform document.body.background =
'image.jpg'
This works for me on IE5. NN does not support document.body.background.
Mark.
