Access one iframe from another

[nero]

Hello group...

I have a page that I'm building out that has a main area and I've used iframes in various different templates...so far so good...until now.

here's the javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
function loadIframe(iframeName, url) {
  if ( window.frames[iframeName] ) {
    window.frames[iframeName].location = url;   
    return false;
  }
  else return true;
}
</script>

and the html:

<td background="images/photo_14.gif" width="751" height="433">
<table width="751" height="433" border="0">
      <tr>
         <td width="285"><iframe name="leftifrm" id="leftifrm" src="revlist.html" allowtransparency="true" width="279" height="433" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">Sorry, your browser doesn't support iframes.</iframe>
        </td>
        <td width="456"><iframe name="rightifrm" id="rightifrm" src="reviews/1.html" allowtransparency="true" width="462" height="433" scrolling="auto" frameborder="0">Sorry, your browser doesn't support iframes.</iframe>
        </td>
     </tr>
</table>          
</td>

the left frame holds a lists of links than when clicked populate the right frame...at least that's the goal but it's not happening. I understand why, I just don't know how to solve it.

Obviously since I name the iframes in this first document the revlist.html that resides in leftifrm has no way to reference where to load the content and so instead of loading in the right frame it does so in the left frame.

Here's one of the links that resides in revlist.html:

<a href="reviews/1.html" onclick="return loadIframe('rightifrm', this.href)">Theatre Preview</a>

Is there a solution to this? I've been looking through iframe documentation all over the web for hours and nada.

Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks in advance for your help

If loadIframe is in one of the iframes, it should refer to parent.frames[...].

You're welcome in advance.
