From where?
The syntax is different depending on where (which frame) the code is running
from.

OR you can use top (that's reserved as the topmost window - you might want to
call your top frame TOPFRAME instead of TOP). But if you use top and your
site gets caught in someone else's frames, it will break.
Using top will work from any iframe.

top.frames["MID"].frames["LFT"] will reference that iframe from any of the
child frames.

i tried something like:
set var myframe = parent.MID.LFT;

set?
What is this 'set' you speak of? vb has a 'set'...

var iframe_win = top.frames["MID"].frames["LFT"];

Keep in mind that a frame/iframe is a window object. If you need the
document, you have to get it.
var iframe_win_doc = iframe_win.document;
