Access is denied after call to cgi script....WHY?

[BigM]

I have a page which comprises 2 frames. In the top frame is a form in which the user can select various processing options from drop downs. As each drop down changes a message is written to the bottom frame instructing the user what processing will be performed on submit. This works fine!

However on submitting the form calls a cgi script on a unix server and the call targets output of the cgi script to the bottom frame. This works fine!

The problem arises now if the user changes the dropdowns and an attempt is made to write info the the bottom frame...I get a Javascript Error

Error: Access is denied
Code: 0
URL:

http://blah

blah blah

Any help greatly appreciated as I am now desperate.

Make sure the cgi files are chmoded properly.
i.e. 755 or 777

The execution of the cgi scripts is not the problem...they run fine. The problem arises after the results of the cgi have been ouput the the bottom frame. It is when the user changes an option in the top frame and the Javascript attempts to write to the bottom frame that the error occurs.

Has to do with the same orgin policy. Rather than explain it I am going to include a link.
