Can a script run another script in another document?

[karayan]

Here's the scoop: I have two documents open (in two different frames if it matters). I need to have a Javascript function in document 1 run a function that resides in document 2. How can I do that? (The obvious alternative, to replicate the function in document 1, is extremely messy. That function uses lots of global variables whose value is not known in document 1.)

Any tricks?
Thanks.

If I understand you correctly?

you can reference a function in another frame using the following syntax.

parent.frameName.functionName();

pass the parameters if required

Thanks, it works great!

I guess, then, functions become methods supported under the frame/window that they are in. My JS book didn't tell me that.

Do you know where I can find the DEFINITIVE Javascript object model??

Thanks, again, Khalid.
