In Chrome what is the syntax to call parent DOM properties from a child in an iframe ?

parent.document.getElementById("divparent").scrollWidth etc works in IE8, FX, Opera, Safari but not in Chrome.
 
code at

<html>
<head>
<title>testparent.htm</title>
</head>
<body>
<span id="storescreenheight" style="display:none;"></span>
<br />
<iframe src="testchild.htm" height="400px"></iframe>
<script type="text/javascript">
var sh = 222;
document.getElementById("storescreenheight").innerHTML = sh;
</script>
</body>
</html>

<html>
<head>
<title>testchild.htm</title>
</head>
<body><a href="javascript:alert('1 ' + parent.document.getElementById('storescreenheight').innerHTML)">
parent.document.getElementById</a>
</body>
</html>
