    Thanks for your help.

    I've tried it and it did not work

    On IE I see "[object Error]"
    On Safari 3.0.4 I see "TypeError: Null value"

    So this line is not good.
    document.getElementById('toolbar').contentWindow.doSomething2();

    Other suggestion?

    Thx
    Joe

    Oops, I'm sorry, I should have tested that before posting. The only way I could get this running on Safari is to explicitly set the function:

    
<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
top.frames['toolbar'].doSomething = function(){
alert("this is my document");
};
</script>
</head>
<body>
my page
</body>
</html>
    Code (markup):
    Though this might now be feasible across site, it works. . . And is cross browser compatible.
