How to access the parent element?

31 New Member
Hello, I am working in javascript and I need to access the parent element. I have 4 different html documents in the same folder.
The names are title, code, golf,tree. I am currently in the title document and I want to access a frame in the code document. I am new to programming in javascript and I know this is simple. Can someone please point me in the right direction.

In the fifth post I posted code from the demo page. I am required in the exercise to change the frameset rows parameters from

<frameset rows="100,210,* " id="demo" name="demo">

to

<frameset rows="100,1,*"> from the title page.Of course the id and name stay the same. I am using a function from the title page to achieve this. I will call the function at the time I want this command to execute. I am assuming by the code that the frameset has three frames. I am changing the frames size by this command. So to change the frames size I need to call the parent then the frameset then the rows.

parent.frameset .rows="100,1,*"

This would set the frames sizes to 100, 1, remainder of the page. Is the logic and syntax correct?

Hello Reading the follwing document: http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-positioning-970131#In-flow it seems very clear that position:relative should be relative to the parent element. So in the following test case element1 and element2 should be placed side by side inside a centered white container element: http://www.markusernst.ch/test.htm
