Hello

If I have a nested frames page "index.html", and have contained the frames as shown (A.html, B.html, C.html, D.html) with frame name (A, B, C, D).

http://localhost/index.html

--------------------------
| A |
|------------------------|
| B | C |
| | |
|------------------------|
| D |
-------------------------

when the user click on a link on frame C, it will launch a window with E.html, and would generate a values in the text box field named "text1" e.g. 111, so it should look like document.form1.text1.value='111'

http://localhost/E.html

--------------------------
| |
| E |
| |
--------------------------

My question is how can I get retrieve the value in the text box "text1" from frame A ?
