iFrame parent object? I' a bit lost.

[gsb]

I have an HTML page loaded into an iFrame contained in a DIV tag.
From the loaded document how would I reference the DIV object?

Thanks,

You get the parent window with
parent
the document with
parent.document
and then you have the usual ways to access an element for instance
var div = parent.document.getElementById('divId');
so if the div has an id or you can set one then use that approach.
If you can't put an id on the div and you are really looking for a
generic solution to find the div container then post back, one would
need to loop through
parent.document.getElementsByTagName('iframe')
and compare name or location to find the relevant <iframe> element and
could then access the div as the parentNode
