iframe problems

[Jimbo]

In one of my pages I have an iframe. I can easily manipulate the parent window from the page within the iframe by using "parent.document.....". What I need to know is how to manipulate the the page in the iframe from the parent window. Thanks in advance

It depends on what you want to do with it! For 'window-like' operations - like changing the src - reference it like this:

frames['frame_name']

...and, as an example, for <iframe name="IFR" id="IFR".....>

frames['IFR'].location = 'http://www.codingforums.com';

For 'element-like' tasks, try getting your handle with:

document.getElementById()

...as in:

document.getElementById('IFR').style.width = '100px';

Iframes are schizophrenic - part element, part frame (window), with two DOM objects representing them (I'm guessing at that last).
