frame hierarchy question...

[Mel]

i have the following code that does not work:

parent.frames["B"].document.forms["CMND"].elements.["id"].disabled=true;

i have 3 iframes in my main T (top), M (middle) and B (bottom)

in the bottom, i have a form (CMND) with an entry field (id) that i would
like to enable disable at will.

i am executing above script from inside "B". why does that not work ?

thanks for your help

Two things:
"id" is a reserved word, I would use something else ("idee"?).
Your reference is faulty.

parent.frames["B"].document.forms["CMND"].elements["idee"].disabled=true

Note no dot between elements and ["idee"]

Oops, I just noticed, in this case the form "CMND" is in the same frame
as the javascript assignment, there is no need to traverse the frame
heirarchy :
document.forms["CMND"].elements["idee"].disabled=true;
