Hi all,

Say I have a page called mytest.htm with an IFRAME in it and an input
field:
<input id="src" name="src" type="text" />

How do I send the an example word "blah" from the iframe to populate the
input field?

I tried window.opener.document.src.value = "blah";

but that hasn't worked .. my google searches are proving fruitless.

tia.

Do not use 'opener' but 'parent'.
Also have a look at top.

thanks for the tip.

A bit of editing and
window.parent.document.getElementById('src').value = url;

does the trick!
