punctuation would be nice if i could read your posts better i could help
better but it seems you are too fast to hit a period this make it very
difficult to understand without spendin 10 min on each of your posts
please start using punctuation it doesn't take that long to type one
extra key thank you

According to my JavaScript book, frames created with iframe are the same as frames created with frameset or frame. So in other words you would access the iframe the same way when using JavaScript.

So to refer the first frame (if your iframe is the first one), then you would refer to it something like

Code: [ Select ]
parent.frames[0]

If the iframe is contained in another frame itself you would refer to it something like:

Code: [ Select ]
parent.frames[1].frames[0]


all depending on how many levels of frames you have and which ones are part of what frames.

Make sure you are putting the right numbers in the [] above too. If you are referencing a frame that doesn't exist then you will have problems.

Not sure if this would help any ... but on one of my sites,

  webpage:

   http://www.hotpicturetrades.com/


I make use of a select - dropdown menu where within an Iframe,
it calls other pages.

pretty kewl .. but not sure if that's what you are trying to experiment with or not.

the drop select is java based.

have a look if you'd like ...
