Topic: want 2 change background color of a page from external site when refernced within a frame (Page 1 of 1)

I have a simple site with a basic fraeset & 2 horizontal frames on top and bottom. The top frae holds a page with links to external sites and pages on other sites which open in the bottom frame. I was wondering that whether it be possible to click on a link in the top frame thus opening a page in the bottom frame with the background color of that page changed according to my liking and how it can be done.. I'd really like any suggestions!

paritycheck: Hello,
nope it's not possible to do a script that will alter a page that is not on the same domain as the script/page. If both the page with the script and the one you want to alter are on the same domain, you simply have to preffix you JavaScript statements with a reference to the frame you want them to be executed in. For that, you must use the window object and its properties like parent, top, frames, ...

Hope that helps
