Alright I have my cheapy ole web page which im sorta
attempting to redesign a little.

I have a small .css for text/font stuff. Up until now
I had bgcolor and font color in there. I also use
frames.... :¦

I moded up a bg color form changer into 4 form drops
that change bgcolor, font color, active and visited
link colors. How ever, as noted I use 3 frames.

The dilemma is how is it possible to float variables
derived from frame #2 that has the 4 color form change
functs to mod the color schemes in the sibling and
parent windows in the other 2 frames using a .css
function in the .css file.

Is it even remotely feasible to do so.

Im not a code wizard by any means, the color changes
were all used by DOM calls. I do how ever need a bit
of help in getting this to fit right.

Much Thanks in Advance

Welcome to WebmasterWorld! [WebmasterWorld.com]

Yes, it is possible, as long as the two pages are on the same domain.

As an example... To get the title of the parent document you would do something like this:
alert(parent.document.title);

You can also use the frame names. Say that you have a frame named "foo". You can access the title of that document by doing:
alert(foo.document.title);

To access/modify other information you would use code in a similar manner.
