    How to access embeds in another frame

    Dear all, if I have something like this:

    <html>
    <body>
    <embed src="..." id="svgPage" />
    </body>
    </html>

    and I did this in the same doc:

    SVGDoc = document.embeds["svgPage"].getSVGDocument ();
    SVGRoot = SVGDoc.getDocum entElement();

    I will get the SVG doc in the embed, fantastic.

    But if I have 2 frames, with "left" and "right" named respectively, and want
    to access the embed in the right frame which contains the html doc above. I
    tried this:

    SVGDoc = parent.right.do cument.embeds["svgPage"].getSVGDocument ();
    SVGRoot = SVGDoc.getDocum entElement();
    fx = SVGRoot.current Translate.x;

    And IE would complain that line 14 char 5 : Object required, and line 14 is
    the fx = ... line so I suppose SVGDoc wasn't initiated properly and hence
    SVGRoot wasn't either. I have no idea why this wouldn't work... could
    someone point me in the right direction please...

    Thanks, Jules

    The html containing the 2 frames is:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
    <html>
    <frameset cols="20%,*" ...>
    <frame name='left' src='left.html' scrolling='auto ' ...>
    <frame name='right' src='page.html' border='0' ...>
    </frameset>
    </html>

      At a guess (I've never used SVG), I'd say the problem lies with the
      getDocumentElem ent() method call. The ECMAScript bindings for SVGDocument
      and its base interfaces don't include that method; it is, in fact, a Java
      method. Try using the Document.docume ntElement property instead.

      It would be much easier if you could post a complete example somewhere.
