Looking into the syntax, it executes the Element.update method on the
container, as your container exists within the IFRAME, I'm assuming it
doesn't have these extended methods.
You could take two approaches from here.
Extend the element before sending Ajax.Updater the reference
or
Use Ajax.Request and stuff your responseText into the object you're
hoping to update.
Ajax.Request(url, { onSuccess : function(xhr){ $
("myFrame").contentDocument.getElementById("target").innerHTML =
xhr.responseText } ... });
p.s. Always attach an onException handler for debugging purposes, this
probably could have given you a clue sooner.
