Preselecting from parent frame to child frame

Let's say I have a frameset page and I want to preselect an option in a
select box from the parent frame. So the parent frame would
programmaticall y change the select box in the child frame. Is that
possible ?

Thanks.

The "parent" frame, in this instance, is a troubling choice of words, I
think. The "parent" is the frameset definition, the "children" are the
individual frames. You can indeed communicate between the children (and
the parent)

I have a link on Parent.html which brings up Child.html in a separate browser window. Child.html has a button with Javascript to close itself. Is there a way I can cause Parent.html to be refreshed/reloaded after Child.html is closed? I don't care if it can be done in HTML, Javascript or PHP, just so it can be done. Is there a way to do this? Mark

Hi geniuses (or is that genii, or genies) The challenge is as above really. I have a page with an iframe in it, and need to call a JS function in the *parent* page, *from* inside the iframe. (It's for Google Maps, but I won't bore you with the complexities of that, as it doesn't affect the question). Mochas kudos to anyone able to solve this widdle.
