Using JavaScript, how can I access controls in an IFrame from the parent document?

For example, the IFrame contains a text box and I want to access and change the contents of it from outside of the IFrame.

You can attach ID tags to IFrames also,
for e.g. ....<br /> <br /> So it works similar to <DIV ID> tags. If you just want to change the "text box" part the enclose only the text box in <DIV ID> tags. That should also works without hassle.<br /> <br /> <DIV ID> tag can be addressed from anywhere within the iframe or parent document AFAIK. </p> <p> <small> 2007-01-10 23:51:13 · <a href="#answer20070110235113">answer #1</a> · <span>answered by <u>vangel_sg</u> <b>2</b></span> · <span>0<span style='color:green;'>⤊</span></span> <span>0<span style='color:red;'>⤋</span></span> </small> </p> </div> </div> </article> </section> <div style="background:#888;padding:8px;margin-top:16px;"> fedest.com, questions and answers </div> </body> </html>
