what is the difference between parent and top

[estesflyer]

im talking about when your manipulating one frame from another. when do you use parent, and when do you use top?

parent refers to the frameset containing the document that is referencing parent. Now let's say said frameset is inside another frameset. You would then have to use parent.parent to get to the top one. Or, you could just use top. jared@aauser.com

OHHHH!!! I think I get it now! so, aight! sweet! so, if you had one frameset, you would use top to manipulate all of em, but you use parent to go from level to level right?

And to bust right out and kill your frames you can target
'_top'.
