Hello, I am a bit stuck, i have a script that opens a new window when the user presses a button. This new window has several buttons, and when the user places his mouse over these, a function is called in the opening page. - problem is that this page is one of two frames. - using the opener.functionname() doesnt seem to work! - the script worked earlier when no frames were present. <br><br>summary: <br>1)parent window contains two frames,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>2)one of these frames contains a page with a function,this page also creates the child window<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>3)child window needs to call this script.<br><br>Any help would be greatly appreciated.<br>Rotes<br><A HREF=" TARGET="_new">
 
I know through DHtml, you can call window.parent.frames(&quot;FrameName&quot;).so on<br> <p>Karl<br><a href=mailto:kb244@kb244.8m.com>kb244@kb244.8m.com</a><br><a href= </a><br>Experienced in , or have messed with : VC++, Borland C++ Builder, VJ++6(starting),VB-Dos, VB1 thru VB6, Delphi 3 pro, Borland C++ 3(DOS), Borland C++ 4.5, HTML,Visual InterDev 6, ASP(WebProgramming), QBasic(least i didnt start with COBOL)
