[thelist] JAVASCRIPT and IFRAMEs

[Tom Dell'Aringa]

Phil, ignore my last message - that won't work.

I'm not sure you are going to be able to reference the Iframe, since
the popup window and the iframe are totally disconnected. Generally a
page and its popup converse via opener, as you already know. How it
can converse within a frame inside is the trick..

But now you have ME working on it..LOL
