Hi Luciano,

You could access variable in iframe, using the name of the iframe followed by dot notation and the name of the variable. Consider the following example:

Copy Code

Document 1:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

</head>

<body>

<iframe name="ifrOne" src="[i]your_file.htm[/i]"></iframe>

<p>

<br />

<a href="#" onclick="alert(window.ifrOne.test_var);return false;">check variable</a>

</p>

</body>

</html>

Document 2 (the one the iframe src points to):

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

<html>

<head>

<title>Untitled</title>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script type="text/javascript">

var test_var = "testing, testing . . .";

</script>

</head>

<body>

<div style="height:200px;width:300px;background:#dee;"></div>

</body>

</html>

All the best,
