Returning value from an iframe

[Nuck]

Hello to all,

Perhaps this is trivial, but i am very novice ...

I have a main window with a form, from here i can open a popup window
from where select elements from a table. This table is inside a iframe
in this child window.

How could I reference the elements in the main form inside the iframe
code? Who is the parent/opener of the iframe?

If i have not explained in a cleary way, please let me know ...

Thanks in advance!

parent.opener.f orms['formName'].elements

The parent of an iframe is the page it is embedded in. It is not a
window, so it has no opener.

The questions were clear. The description was a little typo'ed.

Re: Returning value from an iframe

by the complicity of the solution I assume you are trying to get info
from a 3rd part. If so, you cannot do it 'cause of security restrictions
(like get a stock quote from NASDAQ and place it on your page w/o
"boring" ad).
If I'm miserably wrong and all happens under your domain, then the call
from iframe to the opener's function would be
self.parent.ope ner.functionNam e()
