Calling a function across frames

I have a button inside iframe. I need this button to execute a function located in outer frame.
For IE I can set onclick= "top.myFunction() "
How to do this for NetScape?
Thanks.

 

Welcome to the Forum, igraws!

Hi igraws,

I have no clue as to the correct JavaScript to use, but see if this might be useful:
Sharing Data Among Frames

If this doesn't help, there may be other information on the W3C Recommendation Pages.

Hi Ramona,

Thank you for useful links. I followed them and found the solution which is as follows:
onclick= "parent.myFunction() "
It works for both IE and Netscape.

Thanks again,

Hi igraws,

Thanks very much for posting back with your solution. Did you by chance find your code on the W3C Recommendations page?

Hi Ramona,

Yes, I found many hints and useful guidelines on the W3C Recommendations pages to solve my original problem. But then I encountered other problems which rather look like browser-specific defects or bugs. If lucky, one can find "tricks" to avoid most of those bugs.
