I know how to access other frames (parent.framename.whatever)

but how can I access objects inside the frame document (with <frame and <frameset)

I tried using just parent but it didn't work. Help plz

Framesets (parents) will have no (valid) objects beside other frames. It is the same as a 'window' where the objects are inside the 'document' object.

Actually...that's not quite true. I fixed it. It's parent.document

I was able to access the main document title via parent.document.title from another frame.

:)

one of the things that were throwing me off was the main document HAS to have a <title> inside it or else it would give me an 'Unspecified error'
