how to load page content from iframe to the main page

[hgl1976]

Hi!

I have a web page that from a query that loads the search result into
an iframe on the page. In the search result inside the iframe i would
like to be able to load content into div tag that is in the main page.
Is that possible?



The code i have tried goes like much like this
....
function showObj(theid){

document.getElementById('externalDiv').innerHTML=document.getElementById(theid).innerHTML;

}

....
<div id="externalDiv">
//here is where i would load content from javascript
</div>

....
<iframe>
html for the object desription
.... onClick="showObj('objectdescription1')>
</iframe

<div id="objectdescription1">thedesription for nr1</div>
<div id="objectdescription2">thedesription for nr2</div>
<div id="objectdescription3">thedesription for nr3</div>

var daughter = parent.myIframe.document.getElementById(theid);
if(mother && daughter)
mother.innerHTML = daughter.innerHTML;
else
alert('something wrong !\nprobably in iframe');
}

this function can be called from main page or iframes's page.

<div id="externalDiv">
//here is where i would load content from javascript
</div>

<p><a href="javascript:showObj('objectdescription1')">
