I've tried contentDocument, contentWindow and everything

[Richard P]

I've feel that I have tried everything possible but I still cannot get
my code to work in both netscape version 6 and IE.

My Javascript is in XSL files but this should not matter.

I am using the frameset below, the ids are different but the names are
the same. The names are the same because I have a function to minimise
and maximise a frame given its name and this uses getElementsByNa me.

<frameset rows="50,50" id="fsMain">
<frame id="frame1" name="frame"
src="page.asp?x ml=frame1&amp;x sl=frame1"/>
<frame id="frame2" name="frame"
src="page.asp?x ml=frame2&amp;x sl=frame2"/>
</frameset>

In frame1 I have a function called 'testFrameGet'.

'testFrameGet' calls function frameGot that exists in frame2.

framegot displays an alert box.

So far I have tried:

//*************** ***
// The following line works in IE but not in Netscape.
// alert( parent.frames['frame2'].frameGot() );
//*************** ***
// this works in IE only.
alert( top.frame2.fram eGot() );
//*************** ***
// this works in netscape and IE but only returns the window title,
// I want to run a function.;
//var objFrame = frameGet('frame 2');
//if ( objFrame.conten tDocument )
//{
//var src_doc = objFrame.conten tDocument;
//alert(src_doc.t itle);
//}
//else
//{
//alert('no content')
//}
//*************** ***
//None of these work.
//var objFrame = frameGet('frame 2');
//objFrame.conten tDocument.docum ent.head.frameG ot() );
//objFrame.conten tDocument.head. frameGot() );
//objFrame.conten tDocument.frame Got() );
//objFrame.conten tWindow.documen t.head.frameGot () );
//objFrame.conten tWindow.head.fr ameGot() );
//objFrame.conten tWindow.frameGo t() );
//alert(doc.frame Got() );
//alert( parent.window.f rames['frame2'].frameGot() );
//alert( parent.frames['frame2'].window.frameGo t() );
//alert( objFrame.frameG ot() );

Any ideas?

I strongly suggest to use different names for different frames, then you
can access
parent.frames.f rameName
to access a frame cross browser
