iFrame parent object? I' a bit lost.

gsb
I have an HTML page loaded into an iFrame contained in a DIV tag.
From the loaded document how would I reference the DIV object?

Thanks,

You get the parent window with
parent
the document with
parent.document
and then you have the usual ways to access an element for instance
var div = parent.document .getElementById ('divId');
so if the div has an id or you can set one then use that approach.
If you can't put an id on the div and you are really looking for a
generic solution to find the div container then post back, one would
need to loop through
parent.document .getElementsByT agName('iframe' )
and compare name or location to find the relevant <iframe> element and
could then access the div as the parentNode

I'm trying to figure out a way to have JavaScript use getSelection() with text located in an iFrame. I've been able to make it work, but only when the iFrame displays a page located on the parent page's domain. When the iFrame displays pages on other domains, I get an error -- something about unauthorized access. I'm guessing the error stems from concerns about scripting attacks. Is there any workaround? I was thinking about copying the...
