Setting a <div> visibility in a parent window from an iframe

[Micky Pearce]

Hi

I have a page containing a hidden <div> called 'controls' plus an <iframe>
containing a second page. I need to be able to set the visibility of the
'controls' div when the page in the iframe loads. Is this possible?

Using this code I can change the visibility from a link in the parent
window:

onClick="docume nt.getElementBy Id('controls'). style.visibilit y='visible'"

but if I try something like

parent.getEleme ntById('control s').style.visib ility='visible'

It just replaces the parent with the page from the iframe.

Cheers
Mickey

parent.document .getElementById ('controls').st yle.visibility= 'visible'
