javascript widget in iframe...

1
Hi,

I am trying to make a widget that people can embed in thier web page,.. and I would like the widget to be able to change text values in the window it is embedded in. I dont want any javascript in the parent window,. the user should just be able to copy and paste the iframe code into their page, the js in the widget should be able to edit text boxes on the parent page.

Ive tried to do this using parent.blah... but it doesnt work. Any ideas on how to do this... i have looked at the many posts about doing iframe to parent stuff but they dont seem to work / arent talking about my exact problem...

Thanks a lot everyone
Chris
