[Javascript] how do you access a form element from another frame ?

[BEKIM BACAJ]

Frames are separate browser instances, konsider them as differen persons or 
fisycally separatedobjects.
It's the same as dialing your apartment number to ring your first neibours 
phone.

Where is the onclick event taking place, where does it send alert? There are 
also some security issues with forms residing in different windows. Yes 
there is a way, but I never used it, so I can't remember, -lots of 
workarounds, very long declarations, -simply doesn't pay the nerves.

But if I find it I will get back to you soon as soon as posible.
