clearing the contents of a frame frm a child window...

[suganya]

i have a window with 7 frames - on click of a button in my 2nd frame, i open a modal dialog with a cancel button....
now, when i click on the cancel button i want to clear the contents of the 5th frame and return to the main window....

my 5th frame name is searchResults...

i tried...opener.parent.searchResults.document.write('')
but it keeps saying searchResults is null or not an object...

use this
top.opener.parent.frameName
or the best that never fails is acces the frame by its index in the frameset array

top.opener.parent.frames[4]
