editing the dom of a webpage from an iframe?

[yawnmoth]

Say page A included an iframe to page B and that I wanted page B to
modify page A's DOM. How might I go about doing this?

opener.document.* works for popup windows.... might it work for
iframes, as well?

If B is in a frame then
parent
will give you the parent window
parent.document
the document object in the parent window.

If someone loads your page B into a browser window of its own then
parent is the same as window i.e.
parent === window

Martin did, but not yawnmouth...

yawnmouth said "iframe", Martin read "frame". So I thought it was
relevant.

Did what? Please do not top-post to comp.lang.javascript.

yawnmouth said "iframe", Martin read "frame". So I thought
it was relevant.

When the tree-like hierarchy of frames is being navigated (through the -
frames - collection, the - top - and - parent - properties of the
window/frame/global objects involved) the distinction between "frame"
and "iframe" is non-existent.
