Hi Dave,

I haven't tried it, but there is a 'document' property called 'fileSize',
so maybe:

var txt = parent.otherFrame.document.fileSize;

Of course, this may be an MSIE extension. More information is available
here:

ference/properties/filesize.asp
(Above URL may word-wrap).

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Cheers...
