Change text in marquee

[Shawn Witt]

I hope someone can help me with this situation...
I have a web page with an Iframe. When a link is clicked outside the
Iframe, the src changes. There is also a marquee outside the Iframe.

What I need to do is have the text that scrolls in the marquee change to the
title of the new src page when the link is clicked and the marquee restarts
scrolling.

In other words... When the "Page 1" link is clicked, "Page 1.htm" that has
a title of "Blue" loads in the Iframe and the marquee scrolls "Blue" accross
the area outside the Iframe.

Sorry if this isn't too clear. I'm a bit of a newby at this.

Hmmm. You can only do that if the pages in the IFrame will always be
from the same domain as the page containing the IFrame element.

From the main page:

document.getElementById('marqueeID').innerHTML=win dow.frames['IFrameNAMEnotID'].document.title;
