[Javascript] iframe question

[Roger Roelofs]

Michael,

Do not walk, run over to <http://www.quirksmode.org/js/iframe.html>.  
All you seek is right there.

By the way, your javascript will work much better if you validate your 
pages.  Browsers respond to pages with errors in different ways, 
resulting in different internal DOM representations, which can result 
in unexpected javascript errors.
