Using Javascript, how do I grab a certain portion of HTML (from part of a page) from within one frame to be used as a value for a variable in another frame?
It might be hard to understand, sorry. Here's a better picture, I hope:
This is a Javascript-based tool I am currently working on. I have a window with 2 frames. In the 1st frame, there is a series of buttons and text fields. Each button performs a different function that returns a certain site with information and displays it onto the 2nd frame. I would like to copy some information from the HTML that is being displayed on the 2nd frame, so that it is can be used as a variable on the 1st frame.
Any ideas to get me started? Thx!! =D

If the site in the second frame has a different domain, you will not be able to access it from Javascript. It's a security-restriction that has been present in browsers since NN2 and IE3. It might be possible if you had a signed Javascript, but you would have to purchase that license.
If the site does have the same domain, you can access it using the Top and Frames object.
top.frames[ 1].document.properties
You will probably need to adjust the index used for frames[].
