Calling a Function From Another Page

I have an iframe inside of a parent page. How do I call the onChange
function in the parent page from the ddlProfileNames dropdown in the
iframe page?
Thanks.

code in parent page:

<SCRIPT>
function ordering(sorder )
{
// first, hide all the divs
for ( var d = 1; d <= 16; ++d )
document.getEle mentById("DIV"+ d).style.displa y = "none";

// then, find where the first DIV is going to go:
var node = document.getEle mentById("HERE" );
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
while ( node != null )
{
x += node.offsetLeft ;
y += node.offsetTop;
node = node.offsetPare nt;
}
var ord = sorder.split(", ");
for ( var o = 0; o < ord.length; ++o )
{
var dv = document.getEle mentById(ord[o]);
dv.style.left = x;
dv.style.top = y;
dv.style.displa y = "block";
y += dv.scrollHeight + 8; // 8 to account for 4px border
}
}

// start things off:
ordering("Div1, Div2,Div3,Div4, Div5,Div6,Div7, Div8,Div9,Div10 ,Div11,Div12,Di v13,Div14,Div15 ,Div16");
</SCRIPT>


code in iframe:

<FORM name="frmProfil eNames">
<SELECT class="smalltex t" id="ddlProfileN ames"
onChange="order ing(this.option s[this.selectedIn dex].value);">
<option value="value1"> value1</option>
</SELECT>
</FORM>

I have an ASP application that calls a COM function to create a custom report as an Excel file. This works in a synchronous fashion, as long as the report does not take too long to create. If that happens, the session times out and we run into other kinds of problems. I have, in other cases, executed a stored procedure asynchronously (thanks to a tip from this group) thru ADO. I'm wondering if ASP provides some way of executing a...

My problem: I need to call (from C code) an arbitrary C library function, but I don't know until runtime what the function name is, how many parameters are required, and what the parameters are. I can use dlopen/whatever to convert the function name into a pointer to that function, but actually calling it, with the right number of parameters, isn't easy. As far as I can see, there are only two solutions: 1) This one is portable. If...
