Without seeing your page, nothing specific.  Choose 'Log Javascript 
Excpetions' from the 'Debug' menu and open Console for a more specific 
error message.  My first test would be to change it to 
'window.parent.toolbar.document'  otherwise, all you can do is alert on 
each step to see where it fails i.e.

alert( parent );
alert( parent.toolbar );
alert( parent.toolbar.document );

If you are in a frameset you could try window.parent.frames['toolbar'];
