    Hello,

    I don't understand why this function is not defined:

    		function swapimg(in)
		{
			alert(in);
			var imgname;
			imgname  = in;
			window.parent.document.getElementById('ifrmtarget').src="images/" + in + ".jpg";
		}
    Code (markup):
    I'm calling it like this:

    <a href="#" onclick="swapimg(00)" >

    If you see the problem, would you please let me know.

    Thanks,

    Jason

    Is this in a <script type="text/javascript"></script> tag in the <head></head> ?
    Also, try calling with:

    <a href="#" onclick="javascript:swapimg(00)" >

    Try loading your page in Firefox and viewing the contents of the JavaScript console window (type javascript: into the location bar). It may tell you the error that's making the function undefined.

    Please change like bellow:
    1. Put the swapimg() in the parent page which has "ifrmtarget" and use document.getElementById('ifrmtarget').src =".." in swapimg()
    2. In main page, set window.swapimg = swapimg; right after the your function definition
    2. In the sub page loaded in main page, you can refer to swapimg() function by calling window.parent.swapimg("..");
