Javascript to access main document from within iframe question

VAXman-

First off, I'm new here.

I have a question about accessing an element in Javascript. Here's a
simple example:

</html></body>
<div id="div1"... </div>

<iframe... src="./javascript_in_here.html" ...></iframe>

<div id="div2"... </div>
</body></html>
In the iframe linked page is a Javascript procedure. I cannot seem to get
to the objects (such as div1 and div2) on the main document. Everything I
try seems to return a NULL or error.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
