Solution 1:
Main.htm
<html><head><script>
getText = function(s)
{
alert(s);
}
</script></head><body><iframesrc="otherFrame.htm"></iframe></body></html>otherFrame.htm
<html><head><script>
botherParent = function()
{
parent.getText(document.getElementById("textInput").value);
};
window.onload = function()
{
}
</script></head><body><inputtype="text"id="textInput" /><spanonclick="botherParent()">Stuff goes here</span></body></html>Basically, in the child inline frame, use parent to access the parent's window object. Global variables are stored in window, as are global functions. Because of this, if you define a global variable "foo" in parent, you can access it with parent.foo with your child frame.
Hope that helps!
Solution 2:
Assuming I understand this correctly you want to be able to use javascript to access information in an iFrame from the container page. This is generally regarded as Cross Site Scripting and is not allowed.
