changing css class from parent

DJ WIce

Hi,

I have this situation:

I have a main page with content and an IFRAME on it.
The IFRAME has it's own style sheet and the body of that uses a class:

<body class="IFbody">

How can I change the backgroundcolor of the IFRAME via a function in the
main page, activated from the main page.
The scripts I found via google only access the styles on the main page via
for example
document.styleSheets

The problem is that
document.getElementById('IFid').document.styleShee ts

Does not access the IFRAME stylesheet but the main page stylesheet.

Any suggestion how to access it, would be great.

You need to access the document in the iframe, a way to do that is to use
<iframe name="iframeName" src="whatever.html"></iframe>
then you can script
var iframeDoc;
if (window.frames && window.frames.iframeName) {
iframeDoc = window.frames.iframeName.document;
// change iframeDoc.body.style.backgroundColor here
}

Cool it works..
So instead of using it's ID, give it a name and it wil listen ;-)

Thanks!
