Hi,

I'm not the greatest Javascript programmer but I usually find the above subject is easy to do, however...
The main frame is loaded from server 1.
The main frame loads a php page from second server getting file size, height and width from an image stored on that server. The information gathered is wrote into a Javascript which I want to update a file back on server 1.
The method I have being using is parent.document.name etc... but this does not work.
Does anyone have any ideas if frame updating works from multi urls?
ThanX
Richard
 
I think that there is a security issue and you cannot change a page from one server to another.
But may be I'm not right.
 
dianal is correct: you cannot get or manipulate any information cross-domain. It IS a security issue, and as far as I know there is no way around it. Tracy Dryden
