When using frames and an external js file how can I use the document object

[HGeneAnthony]

I have an external js file.  I also use frames.  In the main frame I include the js file.  However, when I call a function that's in the js file, say to modify the contents of a div tag, I can't.  Example:

 

document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = "This works";

 

I assume I need to reference the frame that holds the document I wish to modify.  However, when using:

 

top.frames['main'].document.getElementById('test').innerHTML = "This works";

 

Nothing seems to happen.  How can I make this work?

try this:

 

parent.main.document.getElementById("test").innerHTML="This works";

 

where "main" is the name of the frame you are targeting your innerHTML.

Thank you I'll try that now!

Thanx that worked!
