[Javascript] weird JavaScript problem in IE6

[Larry Cotton]

Hi

I'm also having problems accessing forms in remote windows on NN7 (I 
haven't tried on IE6). Does anyone know if there has been some security 
features put in the latest browsers to prevent javascript from accessing 
properties of documents in remote windows ? or where I might find out 
whether this is the case ?

Cheers
Larry
