Accessing a div in parent of an iframe

[onali1811]

Hi,

I have a page which has a div tag like following:

<div name="searching" id="searching"
style="width:100px;display:block;float:left">Searching...</div>

Now i have an iframe, which also has some javascript.

i try to access this div from the iframe using the following:

top.searching

It seems to work fine in IE, but am having problem in netscape 7.2

any solutions?

(Almost) standards compliant:

window.parent.document.getElementById("searching")

IE4-proprietary:

window.parent.document.all["searching"]

NS4-proprietary:

window.parent.document.layers[...]
