frames problem

shades44 · Nov 22, 2004

Hello,

I have a page with two frames in it as follows:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
</head>
<frameset>
<frame name="banner" src="banner.aspx">
<frame name="main" src="main.aspx">
</frameset>
</html>

is there anyway i can access something inside 'main' from here? im trying to add a small script to every page that gets loaded into 'main'..

document.getElementsByName("main")[0] gives me a handle to 'main' but i cant get access to the page that's currently loaded in it..

i tried --> document.getElementsByName("main")[0].document.body but that's refering to the contents of THIS page with the two frames in it..

can anyone help?

Why not:

Code:

document.frames['main'].document.body

document.frames['main'].document.body returns undefined.. i think there's a security issue that prevents one frame from accessing objects in another maybe..
