[Javascript] new to frames.

Scott,

You can call a function in the page of the bottom frame from the top frame.
Something like top.bottom.xyz.  That works for IE, NN may be slightly
different.

You should definitely not use top as the name of your first frame since top
is used to identify the topmost ancestor window.

For example, 

main.htm
  <HTML>
  <FRAMESET rows="50%,*">
  <FRAME id="topFrame" src="one.htm">
  <FRAME id="bottomFrame" src="two.htm">
  </FRAMESET>
  </HTML>

one.htm
  <HTML>
  <BODY>
  <BUTTON onclick="top.bottomFrame.sayHi()">Say Hi</BUTTON>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>

two.htm
  <HTML>
  <HEAD>
  <SCRIPT type="text/javascript">
  function sayHi()
  {
    alert ("hi from the bottom frame")
  }
  </SCRIPT>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY>
  Page 2
  </BODY>
  </HTML>

I have a submit button on the top frame, I want this submit button
to cause action on the bottom frame.
