Getting secondary frame to submit

[geuis]

I am in a situation where I have a single page divided into 2 frames. I have a <input type=&quot;button&quot; value=&quot;Next&quot;> that is located on the 2nd frame. What I need to do is be able to click on Next, have it call a javascript function that will get the 1st frame to do a submit. I have code where I can do this from the same document with a form using JS code document.form[0].submit. I need to do something similar to this but have the .submit triggered from javascript so that it will work from the button stored in a separate document. Thanks!

In the button tag place:

onclick='parent.frames[0].document.forms[0].submit();'

Try that. ASCII silly question, get a silly ANSI

I tried that code and now I get a debug error in IE 'Access denied.' I checked the code of the pages that will fill frame2 and found there are no forms, so the forms[0] portion of the code is not gonna work.
I even tried onclick='parent.frames[0].document.submit();' but got the same error. Also tried changing the frames[] # but still no success.

try using the name of the childFrame...

onclick='parent.childFrameName.document.formName.submit();'
