Hi,


I have a document that contains an Iframe. I would like to call from this document a function found inside the IFrame. In IE this works easily with document.frames[0].functionName(). But the problem is to make this work in Mozilla. Anyone has any suggestions?

Thank you

Check out a post I made back in March (the search function really is underused): thread216-1021687

It shows how to access the document inside the iframe, and so can easily be modified to run functions within the iframe.

Hope this helps,
Dan

tsuji, that would work in IE, what about Mozilla?


i have managed to make this work by declaring the functions and variables I need as belonging to the document IE:

document.myFunction = function () {...}

and then calling this by accessing the document in the iframe.

I posted it because it is cross-browser. Is it not, DaZZleD? I had a simple test page to back me up. Maybe that was too simple a test page.
