getElementById in other frames

[balli]

I have a page where you can click on buttons in one frame, and then I'd like some numbers to update in another frame of the page. I have tried to use

parent.[frame].getElementById([id]).innerHTML = '[updated_value]';

but without any luck. I thougt it would work, because it works within a page, and using parent.[frame].getElementById works to update some values (e.g. changing the size of frames).
I hope you can help me (because I'm going slightly mad figuring this out)

Are you actually putting the [] around 2 of your values, or is that just for posting purposes to illustrate something?

Personally, I would NOT be putting that around the frame name or the ID - it will only lead to JS errors.

Hope this helps,
Dan

Well, no, I'm not putting the brackets in the code. I used them to show where I put the name of the frame and the id and the new value in the code.

WOOHOO, I just figured it out myself:

parent.frame['frame_name'].document.getElementById('id').innerHTML = 'updated_value';

parent.frame[red][b]s[/b][/red]['frame_name'].document.getElementById('id').innerHTML = 'updated_value';
