i have 2 frames, "frame2" writes to "frame1". how can i clear "frame1" before more text is added? the way it is now, it just keeps adding the text into one large Paragraph. Thanks.

// Changes the rant
parent.frames["frame1"].document.write('<html><body bgcolor=/"#000000/" text=/"#ffffff/">' + eval('rant[' + slide_num +']'));
}

How I would do this is write the text in frame1 to something I could give an id to like a div tag or span tag.
<span id=ranttext></span>

Then you set the value of the span tag to an empty string which clears anything already in there.
parent.frames['frame1'].ranttext.innerHTML = ""

Then you write your new text
parent.frames['frame1'].ranttext.innerHTML = your stuff as above.
