Scott,
My monkey skills are a bit rusty this morning, how about we talk javascript?
Are you saying I can write a js function in frame B like;
function fnFunction()
{
alert('no monkey talk this morning!');
}
and register it with the parent like so;
top.fnParentFunction = fnFunction;
Then call it from frame A like top.fnParentFunction( var1, var2 );
??
That's what my monkey translator told me anyway... Correct me if I am wrong.
But that would not work as the function would reference to elements as
document.forms[0].elements and not document.frames[0].elements
Cheers.
Real programmer for hire! ;-))
