Is it possible to have javascript and frames together in a website

[user2]

I need to have javascript and frames together at an intermidiate level in my website. MY earliar site with frames has no problem . It works fine but it only has (preload function and form to submit}javascript. Now I need something bigger, better.What should I watch out for with problems with frames? Is it easier to do it in dreamweaver? I have not used dreamweaver yet.

The frames are just 2 or 3 pages put together. You can have your java script in each or some of them and they should all wwork as normal.
Yes, dreamweaver is good.

Dreamweaver is great - IMHO best.
Answer for user2:
Yep. Things work fine, and JavaScript from one frame can access objects in other frames.
The main thing you should watch out for IMHO is to ensure cross-browser compatibility. For example, IFRAMES only work in IE, and the DOM for netscape and IE differs in places. When accessing frames, tads or divs, Try to use document.getElementById[id]..... instead of other, browser specific references.

Question for sirjon.
Can a page within a frame call a function in the parent frame without any tweaking? or to put it another way:
When functions are declared, is their scope document wide?
