Help accessing elements in a frame.

I'm trying to help a friend out but couldn't find an answer so thought I'd
post here.
Is it possible to access the frame window at http://www.5460.net (a chinese
site)?
We're trying to get the DIV elements from its DOM.
We were trying:
alert(document. frames.document .getElementsByT agName('DIV').l ength);
with no luck.
Thanks for any help!

Hi Jeremy,
alert(document. frames.document .getElementsByT agName('DIV').l ength);
You forgot to specify which frame:

document.frames[0].document.getEl ementsByTagName ('DIV').length;

or

document.frames['thename'].document.
getElementsByTa gName('DIV').le ngth;

The rest looks fine to me. If the content of the frame is loaded from
a different server there would be some security issues.

Good luck,
Vincent

If the OP loads another domain into a frame in his frameset, he will have no
access to the content within that frame.

This seems to be what he was asking for, and it simply won't work in the browser's
default security environment.

I am working with 2 frames, Left and Right and the main code is in the left frame, which has been attached. Can someone please help me with this code. I am new to JavaScript and can't figure it out. What needs to happen is this: On the left frame you should have a series of buttons, which when pushed makes things happen on the right frame.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
