If you know what an iframe is then read on, if not then there is no point but you have the right to read on so whatever!

Basicly imagine this:

Main.html has 2 iframes, lets say iframe1 and iframe2.

Now the source of iframe1 is iframe1Source.html, and In this I have a div with the id haywire. Now when I click this div I want a javascript function from iframe1Source.html to change the source of the iframe2 frame, How is this possible?

parent.iframe_name.function() should do it. Although you may need to load the javascript into the parent page to be able to access any of the functions.

Well thanks, but I used a different approach:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ChangeFrame($id){
window.top.document.getElementById('MessageViewer').src="ShowMessage.php?theMessageID="+$id;
}
</script>
