access to another html document with javascript

[aldm]

Hi,

Is there any way (an how) to access from one html document to another html document with

javascript (or php)? For example, I have html document named dodaj_novost.html and another

document named video_index.html. If I want to change the innerHTML of element in video_index.html from dodaj_novost.html?

Thanks in advance

can you elaborate? are you thinking like you have one page (we'll call it the parent), and from that page you open a popup (we'll call it the child) and you want the parent/child to be able to communicate together with javascript?

yes...for example, I want to change innerHTML of some element in child page, with code from parent page...how can I do that?

Yes you can, alleast in theory  . But both the documents will have to be on your server, and with javascript you cannot change the document permanently. If none of these are a prolem to you then sure, you can do this. Make a script to open your child document in a window or frame. Then use the refernce from parent window to control the element  .

to elaborate...the parent would look like:

<input type="button" value="Open Child" onclick="child_win = window.open('child.html');">
<input type="button" value="Alter Child" onclick="child_win.document.getElementById('child_ele').innerHTML = 'Here is the new text';">

and the child like this:

<p id="child_ele">Here is some text before</p>
