Search across frames

[imtiyaz quraish]

Hi,

I've a webpage divided into 3 frames like this

<frameset rows="40,*" bordercolor="white" border="1">
	<frame name="banner" noresize="noresize" scrolling="no" src="1.html">
	<frameset cols="240,*">
		<frame name="contents" src="2.html">
		<frame name="main" src="3.html">
	</frameset>
</frameset>

In the top frame I've to add a search box which will highlight the terms and words present in frame with name 'main'. I'm trying to use the 'searchhi.js' which is working fine if both the content and the search box is in the same page. Please, help me out in pointing me a way to communicate across frames. I cannot use any hidden input field in 3.html as I'll be working with a lot of pages to be loaded in that 3rd frame.

To access any frame, e.g. main, from any page:

top.main

top takes you straight to the topmost parent. You could use parent, but if you have nested frames, you'll have to remember how many to go up.

thanks acoder, I'll try this in my code and will let you know if it worked or not.
