FireFox won't accept parent property

iframe value TypeError

[Smergler]

The parent window contains a form named 'setDates' with an input named 'datesChosen'. The parent also has an iframe.

The iframe loads a dynamic page (php) from the same site that executes javascript as it loads:

parent.setDates.datesChosen.value = "20060222,20060224";

With Explorer and Safari, the value transferes to the form input with no problems. With FireFox (Mac and Win) I get error: 'TypeError: parent.setDates has no properties'.

Has this something to do with security, maybe? Any workaround?

Try:
parent.document.forms.setDates.....

Yes! It worked! Thank you!

Actually quite good that Firefox is strict with javascript. It is better for concise programming.
