finding an element in my jungle ?

[Mel]

if all my identifiers are uique, is it possible to have a function to get me
the id of an element, no matter where it is ?

i am talking about say a form text with it TEXT buried in an iframe within
another container say.


i am looking for something like:
FindElement (eID) {
parent.???.getElementById(eID)
}

of some type


thanks for help

For each page/frame/popupwindow

blahblah.document.getElementById('myID')

If you have Dreamweaver, you may use the "MM_FindObj()" function, or
adapt it to your use.
