If the other page isn't in the same domain (which as you carefully pointed out, they aren't) then there's nothing a script in one frame can tell about or do to the other frame excepting load a different page. That's a deliberate feature of the browsers to prevent a web site from stealing content from other web sites (i.e. it prevents a web site like joessearchengine.com from passing the search to google.com, gathering the results and presenting it as if they performed the search themselves).

what a bummer.. is it possible to open a page in a frame set.. then from a button on the site (say in ie frame two) make that web site go into a new window. so the one frame takes over the page
