    HI All,

    i am trying to run a javascript function in a frameset webpage.
    there are two frames (left,right) the right frame is an external website. and the left frame is local.

    on the external page there is a submit button which executes ("show()") which is a javascript function.

    can i run it from the left frame?

    thanks

    Yeah, I think you can. With something like this:
    
parent.FRAMENAME.show();
    Code (markup):
    The keyword is this, parent.FRAMENAME

    A little Google wouldn't hurt. :)
