Javascript / Client Side Development :: How to refer to a function in a frame from another frame?


	How to refer to a function in a frame from another frame? Hi, I have this master frameset page <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Account Creation</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> </HEAD> <frameset rows="0%, 100%"> <frame src="creation_result.php" name="createAccount"> <frame src="display_result.php" name="content"> </frameset> </html> >From within the "createAccount" frame, I want to call a function defined in the content frame. The content frame's HTML is roughly as follows: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Account Creation</TITLE> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../styles/styles.css"> <script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/util.php"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="../scripts/util.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function setMsg(msg) { document.getElementById('m').innerHTML = msg; } // setMsg </script> </HEAD> <BODY> ... </body> </html> How do I refer to the "setMsg" function in the content frame from the other frame (named "createAccount"?
