[perhapscwk]

Hi,

I have a page, it include a iframe inside, but how to make the iframe can access
the variable from it outer frame?

outframe id= frameout....it have a variable ...var intnumber,
iframe id=framein.

if (top.document.frameout.intnumber=="1")
{
}
else
{
}
 

I use something like above, it not work..please help...
I have tried parent.document.frameout.intnumber as well...

Javascript global variables are properties of window object, so accessing global variable of parent's frame would look like:

if (parent.intnumber == 10) { ....

It's better to address frames relatively, because you can not know if you will not put the whole conent into one more iframe in the future (so top will address different frame).

so to access parent frame use "parent",
to access child frames use: "frames["name_of_child_frame"]"

EDIT: and dont forget you can access differen frame's content only if they are from the same domain.
