Javascript inside iFrame?

I have been trying to run a javascript inside an iframe. It doesnt seem to work. I am still new to this... am I trying to do something completly wrong?

I would appreciate some insight please...

Note the script works fine outside of the iframe...

Thanks


This is the javascript i have on the page.

<a href="#" onclick="parent.frames['text'].location='metalinfo.htm#metal1'; parent.frames['big'].location='images/metal1.png';"><img src="images/metal_09.png" alt="" width="63" height="63" border="0"></a>

search in google....i found a lot of info pertaining to javascript and iframes...but not sure exactly what your looking for

If you could post your code that would be great. Keep in mind that the iframe is another page in itself so if you havent posted the code in the head of the source of the iframe it wont work.

click on ideas >> metal >> any of thumbnails

each thumbnail uses javascript to open files in two different iframes. if you break that page out of its iframe, you'll see that it then works

for security reasons iframes have limited access to parent frames

someone said [quotefcfe5c508c]"It does not recognize parent.frames.text.

You are referencing the wrong frame. You need to make sure it is referencing the correct frame. "[/quotefcfe5c508c]


any ideas how i can get it to work? i don't think they're parent frames
