iframe changing fields in main window

I have an iframe in a page which is refreshed every 5 seconds. It
displays different information based on the contents of a file.

I was wondering if anyone could help me by providing an example of the
javascript I would need to manipulate a field in the main window from
within the iframe.

Thanks very much.

re: iframe changing fields in main window

I believe this should work:

window.parent.document.title = 'Hello, this is a new title'+
' from an I frame';

Good luck,
Vincent
